    brahma is not the absolute creator but does he create most of what we see from matter?

    3 months ago 41

    In Jain Dharma, no supreme being creates the universe or the matter we see.

    • Matter (pudgala) is an eternal substance in Jain philosophy.
    • It is not created by Brahma or by any god.
    • What we see as forms, bodies, objects, and changes in the world happen through the natural interaction of eternal substances and their conditions, along with karma.

    So, from the Jain view:

    • Brahma is not the creator of matter
    • Brahma does not make “most of what we see”
    • The universe operates by its own eternal laws, not by a creator’s will

    In Jainism, the key substances are eternal and uncreated:

    • Jiva — soul
    • Pudgala — matter
    • Dharma — principle of motion
    • Adharma — principle of rest
    • Akasha — space
    • Kala — time

    Thus, everything visible arises from the modification and combination of eternal dravyas, not from divine creation.

    If you want, I can also explain the Jain view of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva specifically.
