Is khandava daha parva basically about the clearing of the forests in the ancient times to make a way for the cities and civilized life? Agni desires to devour all the creatures and animals and Sri Krishna and Arjuna fullfill his desire without any mercy in slaying the animals in their warrior like frenzy and they later build Indraprastha over it, Even Ramayana too describes the dreary forests in all their gory and grim details, are the epics very much entangled in those times where clearing vast swathes of forests is a necessity for civilized life🤔?

How to know one has realised the Divine? Is it based on any sign or experience? I feel a constant pressure inside my heart and it gives an aspiration, peace and devotion towards the divine. On the other hand the surface nature constantly act by the negative movement. This reason sometime that pressure is vanished. How much time the body will act on the surface nature? It is very unnerving stage for me. The sexual thought, ambition, laziness, repeating the mistake etc spontaneously arises and act upon the body and mind. In this stage what should I do😥?
