What situation are we in after death? Let us think, for example, of a gourmet who, in life, had a passion, say, for beefsteaks.

Now, after death, he has discarded the physical body, so he no longer has an instrument, but still has exactly the same longing for the satisfaction of his desires.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"10.
