Kaśyapa means “Clear vision”. He has two wives, Diti which means “division” or “duality”, “alienation” and Aditi which means “undivided”, “unseparated”, “integrated”,”unified”.
The offspring of Aditi are the Devas /Suras who represent the forces of integration, unification, non-duality, harmony and order.
The offspring of Diti are the Daityas/Asuras who represent the forces of chaos, disorder, separativeness and confusion.
The eternal universal binary is not good vs evil (as in the Abrahamic religions) but order vs chaos. Chaos contains the sum total of all possibilities, both positive and negative - some of the Daityas were good guys like Prahlada and Vibhiṣaṇa and some were real bad like Rāvana, Hiraṇyakaśipu etc. From chaos, order and beauty arises (Lakshmi).
Chaos is necessary to bring out order and order has its reference to chaos, a balanced life is one in which both chaos and order are in balance — neither can exist without the other. As humans we have a predilection of walking on the edge - finding excitement in chaos but security in order. Chaos leads to confusion and deterioration in life, order creates defined goals, aspirations and the discipline to succeed.
The nectar of immortality amṛta is obtained only when the two work together in unison and cooperation. (But sadly the cooperation never lasts!) Cooperation is inextricably linked to competition - so at times the Devas and Asuras cooperate but most of the time they compete.
