________________ Karmas (Actions of souls here) is the natural moral law of the universe in which every good and bad action has a corresponding effect on the doer; one can go to hell or heaven but ultimate destination should be liberation (Moksha) by freeing the soul of karmic matter which can be achieved only in human life through the practice of the three Man with deluded view "jewels" termed as right faith, right knowledge and right conduct. It is unique Jain belief that you yourself can achieve the highest form of purification and be God yourself. Infinite souls have done this and you too can do it. Jains are very spiritual but do not believe in God as creator or controller of universe. They believe that the universe is eternal and beginningless or endless governed by its own laws. They do not believe that any external being or divine grace can help the soul in its liberation, only self-efforts can. This notion has led some to consider Jains as atheists.
