Looking at the beginning of this thread and "a quest for certainty" it is said in the Srimad Bhagavatam that "maya" or "illusion" is a part of grace so that each devotee, whether Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Parsi feels with the utmost certainty that his/her faith is "the one true faith" so that they may be free from doubt and pursue their devotion single-mindedly. The Jain principle of anekantavada (multipointedness - no single view) means that any attempt to express the nature of begin is but a partial aspect of being.
