T.S.S., 15 where the reader is advised not to let his wife know of his property and his valuables. Compare D.R., 121 for the only valuable quality of a woman, as the instrument of sexual satisfaction. However, this unhappy human failing did not please the ascetic, who insisted that females were born and meant for hell, males alone for heaven. (Vide T., 26b where comparative figures of population in hell and heaven are also given.) The mystics went further and determined the sex of the powers of Good and Evil, which were of course male and female respectively (vide S.S.S., 87-8).
