Description
A god and a demon asked the exact same question, but only one spent 101 years finding the answer.
In the Rigveda, Indra is a thunder-wielding warrior.
But the Upanishads reveal a completely different side of him.
When Prajapati challenges them to find the true Self, Indra and the demon Virochana become his students.
They both receive the exact same lessons and tests.
While one is quickly satisfied by a simple reflection, the other keeps finding flaws and returning with doubts. 🧠
Would you have accepted the teacher's first answer, or kept returning for decades to clear your doubts?
