👉 It is the virtues that are of the essence

🔷 (This is about the battles between the demons and the divine beings, the evil and the good throughout the history) Demons’ blatant callousness and their audacity to commit any evil cannot be given credit for their victories against the divine beings.These are the very vices that ultimately caused their annihilation and brought reproach upon themselves. Their victories—even though they may have been just in the initial stages or momentary—were actually the result of their unity, courage and adventurous nature. Besides, they never let any opportunity slip away in laziness or procrastination.

🔶 These divine virtues can be hailed as just a tiny ray or a small fraction of divinity and even that much of tiny divinity made them excel in the battles. The Divine Beings’ divinity and good virtues shouldn’t be blamed for their defeats against the demons. These are the very merits which made them the lords of Heaven, famous, immortal, admired by people and eventually enabled them to be victorious and to regain their lost kingdom. Their earlier defeats should be blamed on their little sloppiness and thoughtlessness which lead them to overlook the need of consolidating mutual unity and cooperation as well as to tackle any undesirable elements beforehand. They had to suffer defeats,repression and humiliation until they didn’t rectify these mistakes.
