Acharya Prashant explains that Shri Krishna is both the timeless spirit and time itself, depending on the perspective of the observer. For a common person living entirely within time, the concept of timelessness is merely an abstract idea. Therefore, for mortal beings, the truth must manifest within time to be accessible. He notes that the timeless cannot help a person except through a manifestation in time, which is why humanity worships saints and masters who exist in a physical form.
