		<description>&quot;Considered as the highest among the six realms of existence, it is characterized by the attributes of the Buddha. Enlightenment is considered to be easily attained in this realm; and everything sparkles with love and light.&quot;

Enlightement in the god (deva) realm is not to be easily attained, they are as ignorant as animals and have the same desire of men. They can&#039;t escape from samsara.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deva_(Buddhism)

Buddhist devas are not morally perfect. The devas of the worlds of the Rūpadhātu do lack human passions and desires, but some of them are capable of ignorance, arrogance and pride. The devas of the lower worlds of the Kāmadhātu experience the same kind of passions that humans do, including (in the lowest of these worlds), lust, jealousy, and anger. It is, indeed, their imperfections in the mental and moral realms that cause them to be reborn in these worlds.
Buddhist devas are not to be taken as a Buddhist refuge. While some individuals among the devas may be beings of great moral authority and prestige and thus deserving of a high degree of respect, no deva can show the way of escape from saṃsāra or control one&#039;s rebirth. The highest honors are reserved to the Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha.</description>
