Gurudev, when time is good, everyone is good to you. So are people actually good or is the goodness of time that makes people good around you? I am confused.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

I think you already know the answer.
There are people you have helped day and night and yet they have become your enemies. Haven’t they? How many of you have had this experience? You have not done anything wrong to somebody and yet they have become your enemy. Similarly, you have not done any favor to somebody, yet they have helped you a lot and become best friends with you. Hasn’t this happened?

Getting a friend or enemy happens through some karma. So if your time is good, even an enemy acts like a friend, and if your time is not good, even a friend acts like an enemy.
