"There are two classes of men throughout the whole universe. One is called daiva and the other is called asura. The viṣṇu-bhaktaḥ bhaved daivaḥ, those who are devotees of the Lord, they are daiva. And āsuras tad-viparyayaḥ, and those who are not devotees, they are just the opposite number, they are asura. So asura class will always say like that. And there is always fight between the two, even in higher planetary systems. Only Brahmaloka, Satyaloka, there are no more asuras. So asura class will always fight like that, and devatā class will always defy. But for God everyone is equal, because all of them are sons of God. Therefore an attempt is always going on to turn the asuras to become devotees. For this purpose God Himself comes, He sends His representative, how these rascal asuras can be turned into devotees. Otherwise, the asura class is always be there."
