They are clarified as under Prajapati Srishti (creation of Prajapati)-It is mentioned in Manu Smriti that Lord Brahma cut his body into two pieces. He turned one piece into a man and the other piece into a woman. Then through the woman, he created a gigantic man. That man observed austerities and created Manu (me). So you should consider me as the creator of the Universe. Ishwar Srishti (Creation by Ishwar or God). Ishwarvadis believe that the universe has been created by Ishwar who is unique, all prevalent, permanent and totally independent. They do not believe that Ishwar took the form of creation (Upadan cause). They believe that Ishwar is the secondary cause (Nimitt Cause) of creation of the Universe. They believe that it is Ishwar alone who awards fruit of the Karmas (activities good or bad committed by living beings). The living beings after their current life-span are re-born in heaven or hell as directed by Ishwar. But the real fact is that the very thought about the very creation of the Universe is simply the flight of imagination. In reality this Universe had always been in existence and shall exist always. Some philosophers believe that this Universe is throughout Vishnu. In other words Vishnu is all prevalent everywhere in water, land, mountain, fire and the like. This belief that the Universe is all Vishnu is also not established by any logical reasoning. It is also simply a flight of imagination because where was Vishnu when there was no Universe (Jagat). Why did he have the desire to create the world or what was there that inspired him to create the world ? If He (Vishnu) was living in thick darkness and there was nothing else except Him, how then He created this gigantic Universe without any material (upadan). श्रु.१, द्वितीय अध्ययन : मृषावाद आश्रय (95) Sh.1, Second Chapter : Falsehood Aasrava 游乐场步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步步 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
