Diving into the depths and digging into the earth are symbolically
kindred acts.  A body of water, especially the sea, is symbolic of an
invisible realm teeming with life.  Likewise the earth is symbolic of
fertility and hidden riches.

Benny is the prototype of Slothrop.  And remember Slothrop's destiny
in GR is essentially Nirvana (at least that's how I see it).
