Eternal time is the witness of all our actions, good and bad, and thus resultant reactions are destined by this Supersoul feature of the Lord, who resides in everyone's hearts.
We should never say that we do not know why and for what we are suffering. We may forget the misdeed for which we may suffer at this present moment, but we must remember that Lord is our constant companion, and therefore He knows everything, past, present and future. And because the Supreme Personality destines all actions and reactions, He is the supreme controller also. Without His sanction not a blade of grass can move.
The living beings are given as much freedom as they deserve, and misuse of that freedom is the cause of suffering. The devotees of the Lord do not misuse their freedom, and therefore they are the good sons of the Lord. Others, who misuse freedom, are thrown into miseries destined by 'Kala' or the eternal time.
'Kala' offers the conditioned souls both happiness and miseries. It is all predestined by eternal time. As we have miseries uncalled-for, so we may have happiness also without being asked, for they are all predestined by eternal time.
No one is therefore either an enemy or friend of the Lord. Everyone is suffering and enjoying the result of his own destiny. This destiny is made by the living beings in course of social intercourse.
Everyone here wants to lord it over the material nature, and thus everyone creates his own destiny under the supervision of the Supreme Lord. He is all-pervading and therefore He can see everyone's activities. And because the Lord has no beginning or end, He is known also as the eternal time.
