Hi
I would like to talk about the concept of God or I would define god.
How can we properly define something? The answer is simple yet complex. To define something we will use the Jainsh method. According to the Janish method if we want to define something then we need to know what it is and also know what it is not for example if we want to define a table we can define it by what it is, made of wood, has four legs etc but we can also say that a table is not a tree, it's not me. So to properly define anything we need to define what is it and what it is not at the same time that's why Jain people have a concept of kawaliya which means to know yourself, by knowing yourself you know what you are and what you are not which implies that you know everything just to know yourself properly.
Now I am going to define god using this idea of defining anything.
We get two possibilities when we try to define god. These possibilities are:
1. God is finite, ie we can define it as what it is and what it is not.
2. God is infinite, ie it is everything. We can define it as what it is but can't define what it is not because it is everything.
We will call these 2 possibilities as case 1 and case 2
Case 1
God is finite, which means when we will try to define it, we will see that it will make god a mere object. If god is our creator, then he has authority over us but the problem is he is not a human being. So it means he is free from human desires, so why does he want to be praised? Why does he become angry with us, and why has he created hell for the people who disobey him? In fact, why does he want us to obey him? These questions prove that this definition of God looks human-made because this definition has human qualities. It just means this definition was made to make our society stable. if this concept of God does not exist whole of humanity would end in great chaos.
Case 2
Now, the case is god is everything; therefore, I, you, a dog, everything is a part of God, which means that our every attribute is God's attribute. I have lust, greed, pride, etc, which means god also possesses these attributes, which means that god should be the first one to go to hell. ( we are taking God as just, so he should do justice in this case because the problem of justice is too complex for me). It means that the idea of hell does not exist but most religions believe in the idea of hell.
So when we try to define god using this idea of definition we find that in both cases we find that the concept of God does not match with our classic idea of God. It gives rise to 3 more possibilities which are
1. The way we define has an error.
2. The idea of God we know till now is wrong.
3. The idea of God and the way we define it are both wrong.
Thanks for reading my views and hope that you will improve this by engaging in a positive discussion
Note: {We took the idea of a just god as a fact. The question arises about whether god exists or not and is just or unjust }
