The disciple of Subhuti, the avatar of Mara, also understood this, as it was a naturally born stone monkey named Sun Wukong.
In the worlds he encountered, the monkeys called "Sun Wukong" were mostly fools, irritable, deceived by the immortals and Buddhas without knowing it. Yet, he thought that apart from the Tathagata who suppressed him, he was the strongest. Those demons along the way made him anxious, but he couldn't see clearly... This was very strange.
Although the immortals and Buddhas of these worlds schemed for so-called "merit," their acts of performing made the Mara avatar feel that their minds, souls, and primordial spirits had major issues. But the problem with this monkey was undoubtedly the biggest one.
Agitated, simple-minded, dumb.
Amidst such layers of schemes, he didn't notice any problem at all, didn't understand the art of hiding one's skill and biding one's time... If he were a naturally born fool, it would make sense.
