"There are many houses, very low, and cottage, so people think that "This is not very good life. Let us have very nice building." So this struggle is going on. That is human nature, that unless. . . Until he approaches the final post or platform of happiness, he is not happy. That is called struggle for existence and survival of the fittest. So sura-asura(?) means those who are trying to reach the ultimate goal of life where happiness is guaranteed. One who is trying for that, he is called sura, devatā. And one who is satisfied with this temporary so-called happiness, he is called asura. That is the difference."
