funny you mention that, Brahma granted a boon to the Demon king (forgot his name) that allowed him to duplicate from his blood hitting the ground, the gods realised the mistake and Kali maa emanated from Maa Durga and well…you know the rest
And there was another story where one Asura pleased Brahma and Shiva and asked them for nothing in return which somehow gave him control to their realms. When he tried pleasing Vishnu and asked for nothing in return, the Deva said that he’ll give him eternal bliss (by killing him) lol
if the story is correct, then Vishnu killing the Asura would have led the Asura to get closer to the Absolute, but the Asura panicked, not knowing what came after and his ego intervened, yeah…that makes sense, the death of the Ego, or I Consciousness which identifies you with Maya (illusion) in order to begin understanding the concept of Oneness
if you notice in the story you told me, the demon asked for nothing untill the very last minute
That’s why you don’t overdo the worldy stuff. It’s like excercise, if you never do mobliity work you’re gonna be stiff and if you never do strengh you’re gonna get injured. It’s about balance.
why don’t you ask shiva or kali , since i am also from india (brahmin) i know that you must be of a religion like bengali , gujrati , maratha bhai jo god teri family ko support karta hain unko puch , i suggest kie kali mata seh puch
