According to Jain doctrine, the universe and its constituents (soul, matter, space, time, and principles of motion) have always existed. In Jainism, godliness is said to be the inherent quality of every soul (or every living organism) characterizing infinite bliss, infinite power, Kevala Jnana (pure infinite knowledge),[3] infinite perception, and perfect manifestations of (countably) infinite other attributes. Jain cosmology offers an elaborate description of heavenly beings (devas), but these beings are neither viewed as creators nor are they immortal; they are subject to suffering and change like all other living beings, and must eventually die. English-language material tends to retain the term "deva" or describe these beings as "deities", "gods" and "goddesses."[15] Jain scriptures reject God as the creator of the universe. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9860.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9860.txt
