Short answer:

• Jains do not believe in a creator God who runs or creates the universe. The cosmos is understood as eternal and governed by natural karmic laws. The path to liberation is through one’s own effort, not divine intervention.

What this means in practice:

• The ultimate aim is to attain kevala jnana (omniscience) and become a siddha (liberated soul) through right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct.
• Tirthankaras (the 24 enlightened teachers) are revered as perfect beings who show the path to liberation, not as creators or rulers of the universe.
• There exist heavenly beings (devas) in Jain cosmology, but they too are bound by karma and cannot grant liberation or create the world.

Difference between Digambara and Śvetāmbara:

• Both traditions reject the idea of a single creator god.
• Some discussions about “Ishvara” (a supreme being) appear in Jain literature, but Ishvara is not the creator of the universe. In general, Digambaras emphasize the non-creationist view strongly; Śvetāmbaras may describe Ishvara more as a perfected soul who can inspire devotion, but still not a creator or universal ruler. The core teaching remains: liberation comes from the individual’s own purushartha (effort).
