Enlightened sages in our scriptures meditated for boons from Gods. Now once they are on spiritual path and enlightened or have awareness, why do they ask for boons?

Taking this for real, anyone who, by sheer Spiritual Sadhana, was capable of bringing the Lords such as the Mahadev to him must have been a great Sage.

Three categories of people asked for boons- The Rishis, The Asuras, and The gods.
The boons the Rishis ask would invariably be for the welfare of the people in general. Nothing for themselves.

Boons Rishis asked the Lord for:
Remain in this Sthala & Bless the devotees.
#SanatanaDharma #Hinduism
Whoever recites you by this stotra shall gain wisdom & greatness in life.
Whoever does this Vrat in your name shall gain your Blessing in all ways.

Boons gods ask for would mostly be for reestablishment of their lost status due to some error - like suspended or dismissed govt officers petitioning the highest authority for mercy. They are too desperate to regain their status to ask anything else.

The Asuras are the interesting guys.
They are capable of such intense Tapasya that the Great Lords appear before them and grant boons.
This brings the Asuras too within the fold of divine beings.

But the Asura would always ask selfish boons such as power, control & longevity.
Immediately after gaining the boon, they would start killing sadhus, torturing the gods, ill-treating women etc.
And then the Lord would come in some form and kill them.

But here is the interesting part- “Moments before their death in the hands of any Lord or Devi, they invariable ask for the same boons the Rishis ask for in the first place- Bless the people.”

What happens to them between gaining the boon and gaining liberation at the hands of the Lord Himself is a wonderful subject of study which someone interested might very well take up.

Ravana was killed at the hands of Shri Rama.
Imagine, that the Lord the touch of whose very feet liberated even the stone as Ma Agalya, is standing before Ravana, and killed him.

Everyone dies, for sure. But how is it getting killed at the hands of the very Lord who the devotees would die happily a million times to see once?

Is that not Ravana’s greatest Blessing which the Sages could be envious about? Getting personally liberated at the hands of the Lord!
This is why when the Lord kills, it is Samhaara, and not killing.

The enlightened being asks a boon from the Lord only for the welfare of the people.
The more you think, feel, serve, and wish for the welfare of the others, you can be sure you are gaining enlightenment in one way or the other.

That nature of the enlightened is not going to go away, at least as long as they are manifest.
