Then he looked into the cup. He said: "Do you eat meat?" "We do indeed," [they said]. "For what desire?" "For the eye and for the breaths." "Yes," he said. "That is indeed not leading to the heavenly world for you." Then he looked again into the cup. He said: "Do you approach women?" "We do indeed," [they said]. "For what desire?" "For offspring, for continuity, for non-interruption." "Yes," he said. "That is indeed not leading to the heavenly world for you." Then he looked again into the cup. He said: "Do you speak untruth?" "We do indeed," [they said]. "For what desire?" "Either out of desire for women, or desire for fun, or desire for a friend." "Yes," he said.
