No idea...I was just taught when the discussion came up about the whole which being has the best opportunity for enlightenment and was told it has to do with our chakras.Aemilius wrote: ↑Mon May 24, 2021 8:33 amHow about the gods in the Kamaloka, who have different kinds or levels of sexual activity?Minobu wrote: ↑Mon May 24, 2021 5:28 amIt's to do with the chakras .we have the optimum amount ...gods only have three.PrideTheStudent wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 12:05 am Why, is it that humans birth are the only capable being of reaching enlightenment. When the deities are already enlightened, have spiritual powers which make it easier to cultivate, and gain powers humans have no powers at all and are born suffering
I am also under the impression the gods though very advanced fall back into the lower realms after they die , due to burning up merit karma...so they do not seem to be enlightened from that angle.
The first sign is their beloved Lotus cushions start to wilt and then they give off an odious odor ...the other gods toss them flowers but stay away due to the reminder of what is in store for them as well..Also due to their advanced abilities granted to their being they are aware of what next life is in store for them..they fall into lowers realms..
just what i was taught..maybe not everyone sees it this way.
