Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, is the original source of time.

The Lord tells us: I am time, the destroyer of worlds, come to engage all humankind.

Nothing and no one can resist the invincible power of time, for time is a manifestation of Krishna, the Supreme Lord.

The influence of God, the Supreme Person, is felt through the factor of time, which awakens the fear of death in the incarnate soul, led astray by the false ego (the force that binds the incarnate being to material existence and compels it to identify with its body) upon contact with material nature.

The fear of death arises through the action of time, which is the influence of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person. In other words, time is destructive. Everything that is created is also subject to destruction and annihilation, which represents the action of time. We must therefore see time as the Sovereign Lord present before us.

The Lord adds: Know that time represents the Sovereign Lord, from whom creation proceeds as a result of the movement of unmanifest, or neutral, nature.

When unmanifest material nature is set in motion by the power of God's gaze, it begins to manifest in various ways. Before this movement, it remains in a neutral state, without the interaction of the three attributes or modes of influence of material nature:virtue, passion, and ignorance.

In other words, material nature cannot produce any kind of manifestation without the contact of the Supreme Lord. Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, is the origin of the creations of material nature. Without his intervention, it can do nothing and produce nothing. The actions and reactions of material nature may seem wonderful to scientists, but in reality it can do nothing without time, which sets it in motion and which represents Krishna, God, the Sovereign Person.
