A growl of thunder or roar of angry beast,
The beast that crouching growls within man’s depths,—
Voice of a tortured Titan once a God….

It starts from parents to friends to partner to future kids maybe. But isn’t it true that if the Divine is happy with us, there is no need to worry about anyone’s happiness? 🌷🙏🏻[…]

It is only the Sattwic people who think of other’s happiness. Most live and think only or mainly about their happiness.
