preaching, so does the God do us all good by creating the world, is not proper to say. Because firstly, Jain philosophy has accepted the bodily God as God formally. In fact he has been termed as Snataka muni, and like detached, naked munis (ascetics) preaches unselfishly. To accept the God as creator of the world, taking the religious preaching of Jina-sasana (Jain tradition) as support is to prove the God as an idol of partiality, attached and averse, because why of his works, of his created worldly beings some are poor, some rich, some virtuless, some virtuous, some humble worthless-pitiable-subordinate, some free-independent-prosperous, some men, some monkeys-animals-birds, some cheat-fraudulentknave-heartless, some meritorious-pious, some having good features beautiful, some having bad features ugly etc. Why does that God not make them similar, or, make all good like himself? The personality of the dinadayala (kind and considerate to the poor), dayanidhana (abode of compassion) cannot be such a one. To save the God from this defect, if it is said that the God sends the wordly beings to heaven-hell etc., to get pleasure and pain as per their good and bad actions, is also improper, because when all the diversities-dissimilarities are the results of auspicious-inauspicious karmas then what is there the purpose of the God! The thief gets into the jail because of the theft, not because of the police, Sita's fame has spread because of her chastity, not because of gods.
