In English
Birth is the same, no matter if one is a millionaire or a pauper. The millionaire doesn’t come down from the sky, and the pauper doesn’t come out of the earth. Both come out of the mother’s womb. Hence, birth and death are the same to all. Similarly, thirst and hunger are the same to everyone. A rich person, when thirsty, may take costly cool drinks. A poor person may quench their thirst by drinking cold water. A rich person or a person of high authority may eat delicious food to appease their hunger while a poor person may afford only parched rice to satiate hunger. Varieties of food may be many, but hunger is one and the same. Hence, hunger and thirst are the same to everyone. Birth and death are also equal to everyone.
