→‘Yadruchha’ or free will (power which is responsible for sudden occurrence of events in universe)
Consciousness is without any beginning or end, and being eternal it cannot be created by any other thing. Creation by something else refers to the creation of the body by the absolute ''atman'' (the supreme consciousness or the supreme soul), and is an acceptable view for the proponents of the theory of reincarnation. [13]

Those who are atheists or nihilists do not believe in the theory of creation. As per this view, there is no existence of soul and no examination is warranted to prove its existence. They do not believe that there is any doer or divine cause for the existence of anything. For these people, there is no existence of God, sages, siddhas, and therefore, they do not believe in concepts such as karma (action) and karmaphala (results of the action). Thus, nihilism constitutes the worst sin in this world. [14-15]
