156 Aptavani-2
The term God( Bhagwan) is an adjective. And‘ we’ are Shuddhatma without adjectives. The world has come about because of adjectives. Shuddhatma does not have any adjective and that is why‘ our’ state is devoid of any adjectives( nirvishesh).
To call‘ us’ God( Bhagwan), it is equivalent to making fun of the Gnani Purush. You too can be called a Bhagwan( God), if you do not have any clash tendency( kalushit bhaav) towards anyone, nor do you incite it in any one else.

Lord Mahavir had completed 360 °( perfect knowledge) and‘ our’ Gnan stopped at 356 ° and that too because of the peculiarity of the current era of this time cycle. But if you wish,‘ we’ can bestow that keval Gnan of 360 ° within an hour to you. You have to be ready for it. However because of the strangeness and peculiarity of this era of this time cycle, you will not be able to digest it completely. Though‘ we’ are
