It is significant to note that the asuras seek Brahma’s boons and the devas seek Brahma’s help. The asuras are not interested in Brahma; only in his possessions. They perform tapasya not to attain wisdom that takes away insecurity, but to simply acquire powers known as siddhis. The devas are interested in Brahma and are directed to Shiva, Vishnu and the Goddess, a calling for the inner journey that grants wisdom, hence takes away insecurity. But the devas do not complete this inner journey.
