Time is the manifestation of the power of God, and so it has no end or beginning which can be measured. Karma too is an important manifestation. Easwara or God is no wayward force, unmindful of bounds and limits. He creates circumstances strictly according to the activities that men have engaged in during their previous lives. Creation, Time and the Karma — all three are instruments which He uses. They are bound to Him. Easwara though not perceptible to the senses ordinarily, becomes so aware to the devotee who has deep attachment to Him that the devotee yearns to merge in Him. Such devotees can perceive God as clearly as they perceive external objects.

– Sathya Sai Vahini, Ch 13: "The Avatar as Guru".

God is the embodiment of love. If you want God, you should have total love for God. – Baba
