- The Realms of the Warring gods

The remaining realms of desire are called the god realms. We call the people in these realms "gods" because their behaviour seems miraculous or magical. They have far greater concentration, clarity of mind, intelligence, intuition, memory, confidence, and happiness than those in any of the previous realms.

The warring gods consist of the suras and asuras. The asuras are known as the "jealous gods" because of their jealousy of the material achievements of the suras. They are in constant battle against the suras, but are always badly defeated by the superior mental and material strength of the suras.

This warring nature is often exhitibted in businessmen, politicans, and academics. Some have "got it", while others, for all their talent, simply don't have the required winning magic.
