Lord Sri Krishna although appeared as the family member of Vrishni dynasty and as such nephew of Kunti Devi, she knew it well that Krishna was neither her nephew nor an ordinary family member of her paternal house. She knew it perfectly well that Krishna is the Primeval Lord Who lives in everyone's heart as the Super-soul Paramatma. Another name of the Paramatma Feature of the Lord is Kala or eternal Time. Eternal Time is the witness of all our actions good and bad and as such resultant reactions are destined by Him. It is no use saying that we do not know why and what for we are suffering. We may forget the misdeeds for which we may suffer at the present moment but we must remember that Paramatma is our constant companion and therefore He knows everything past present and future. And because the Paramatma Feature of the Lord Krishna destines all actions and reactions of a living being He is the Supreme Controller also. Without His sanction not a blade of grass can move. The living beings are given freedom as much as they deserve and misuse of that freedom is the cause of suffering. The devotees of the Lord do not misuse the freedom and, therefore they are the good sons of the Lord. Others who misuse the freedom of activities are put into miseries destined by the etenal Kala. The kala offers the conditioned souls both, happiness and miseries. It is all predestined by the Eternal Time. As we have miseries uncalled for so we may have happiness also without being asked for because they are all predestined by the Kala. Nobody is therefore either 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 wants here to Lord it over the material nature and thus everyone creates his own desiny 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 therefore He is known also as the Eternal Time Kala.

Teachings of Queen Kuntī, 11 The Touch of Superior Energy
#$p#Kuntīdevī knew that Kṛṣṇa was neither her nephew nor an ordinary family member of her paternal house. She knew perfectly well that Kṛṣṇa is the primeval Lord who lives in everyone's heart as the Supersoul, Paramātmā. Another name of the Paramātmā feature of the Lord is #i#kāla#/i#, or eternal time. Eternal time is the witness of all our actions, good and bad, and thus resultant reactions are destined by Him. It is no use saying 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 Paramātmā is our constant companion, and therefore He knows everything, past, present and future. And because the Paramātmā feature of Lord Kṛṣṇa 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 put into miseries destined by the eternal #i#kāla#/i#. The #i#kāla#/i# 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 #i#kāla#/i#. 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, #i#kāla#/i#.
