Also Kunti Devi. Mother of Pandavas, wife of King Pandu (the younger brother of emperor Dhritarashtra), and sister of Krishna’s father (Vasudeva). (Glossary for the Vahinis)

God gives us sorrow and difficulties only to make us extremely happy later. We feel hungry only when the food we eat is digested. If it is not digested, there will be no hunger at all. Similarly, God in the first instance gives us difficulties and when we are depressed unable to bear them, he provides joy. It is therefore not possible for humans to decipher his will and leelas (acts of grace). Only those people who experienced them can understand them; not who try to explain them with their intellectual ability. He gives the inner bliss. The physical happiness is fleeting. Kunti who recognised this truth could not bear the separation of Krishna from her. (Beacons of Divine Wisdom Part 2, pp. 99-100)
