________________ वर्षों तक यह निगोद में रहा जहाँ एक श्वास में १८ ईश्वर द्वारा होते नहीं देखा । ऐसे दृष्टान्त से ईश्वर को कत्र्ता-हर्ता कैसे सिद्ध किया जा सकता है ? -यूरोम के प्रसिद्ध दार्शनिक यम : 1997 ARHIFT, (FEO a FT) go 1931 (?) “How can it be that Brahma, Would make a world, and keep it miserable, Since, if all-powerful, he leaves it so, He is no god, and if not powerful, He is not Good”. -Arnold : Light of Asia, (3) Who and what rules the Universe ? So for as you can see, rules itself and indeed the whole anology with a country and its ruler is false.Julian Huxley. (v) Can this world full of miseries, inequalities, cruelties and barbarities be the hapdi work of a good, just and true God ? -Shair-i-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai,Marbatta, 1933. (*) The Jainas denied that God, in the sense of the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, existed. "If God created the universe” asks Jinasen Acarya, “Where was he before creating it ? If he was not in space, where did he localise the universe ? How could a formless or immaterial substance like God creat the world of matter ? If the material is to be taken as always existing, why not take the world itself as ‘unbegun'? If the creature was uncreated, why not suppose the world to be itself self-existing" ? Then he continues, "Is God selfsufficient? If he is, he need not have created the world. If he is not, like an ordinary potter, he would be incapable [ 383 Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
