How could I restrain myself? Even Adam was not able to follow God's injunction. Was it because of Eve or Adam himself?

"Jains view God as the unchanging traits of the pure soul of each living being, described as Infinite Knowledge, Perception, Consciousness, and Happiness (Ananta Jnāna, Ananta Darshana, Ananta Cāritra and Ananta Sukha). Jains do not believe in an omnipotent supreme being, creator or manager (kartā), but rather in an eternal universe governed by natural laws."
"Those who rediscover dharma are called Tirthankara. The literal meaning of Tirthankar is 'ford-builder'. .. A ford-builder is someone who has themselves already crossed the river and can therefore guide others. S/he is called a 'victor' (Sanskrit: Jina) because she or he has achieved liberation by their own efforts."
That is quite atheistic and like the Buddha. Actually Mahavira of Jainas was a few years elder to Gautama. Buddha knew about him and addressed him as 'Natiputta' (the son of knowledge). (Quotes from Wikipedia).
