One thing is more to be said in this context that "some philosophies presume Jain philosophy as nastika (atheist), and propagate that those are atheists who do not accept the God". This presumption shows their deficient knowledge of philosophy. Let it be known that, Jain culture, the fosterer of Sramana culture, has accepted the God as supremely venerable-adorable with great faith, not as the creator of the world. Therefore Jain philosophy is a true astika (believer) philosophy showing the right direction to nastika (non-believer) philosophies. In fact, to accept the God as the creator of the world is to negate him, and this is nastikata, a falsity. This contextual topic gets confirmation also from the 14th and 15th verses of the 5th chapter of Gita, the heart of Mahabharat: 'Na kartrtvam na karmani lokasya srjati prabhu. Na karmaphala samyogam svabhavastu pravartate. Na adatte kasyacit papam na caiva sukratam vibhu ajnanenavrtam jnanam tena muhyanti jantavah.'
The Lord, God doesn't perform the authorship of the world (do not make himself the world), of the karmas and the composition of their fruits, but the nature of the world is so working. That Lord also does not accept anyone's auspicious and inauspicious deeds. The living beings are getting deluded in the world due to the cognition covered by ignorance. The same is the thought in Tejobindu Upanishad clear in the following karika (versified interpretation):
Thirtyeight
