JAINISM---CAN GOD SEE ALL OF US---------???

I was attending summer camp by Gurudeo for kids education for   
(Sanskar Shibir). It was meant for imparting preliminary of Jainism to them. I was very much impressed by it, hence sharing for readers.
Since they were under ten years of age the lecturers were giving preliminary information of sins and good deeds etc. The session  was being followed by questions and answers. Two or three questions by kids made me surprised and delighted. The questions were simple but much difficult to answer .Those question are summarized  hereby

1-Can we see God-----?
2-Can God see us------?
3-Where do God live-----? Whether they live in sky since we always look above if we are in problem they live in holy places like temple ?
4-What is death--? Why some gets abnormal  other than natural one?
I heard the answers with passions. They were summarized as follow.
1-We cannot see God on our present planet Earth. But if we happens to be in Mahavidhehakhetra we can see Arihant Bhagwan known as Viharman Bhagwan and Kewali. Sidda Bhagwan are in body less form so human cannot see them. Here God is Kevaldyani Bhagwan. Other gods (Lokikdeo ) are not covered for our vision purpose.. 
2-Yes both Arihanta and Siddha Bhagwan can see us- Bhagwatisutra.
3-Siddaha Bhagwan are liberated souls they live in high sky place known as Siddhasheela at the end of Universe, God is not living in temples. It is man made arrangement. It is our faith that we imagine God to be in statue since we have limitations to see them with our physical eyes. Lokikdeo means soul residing in heaven ,they are not God but have much wealth and power due to their accumulated good deeds. They may cause some favor to us if warranted by our good deeds. Arihant and Siddha only guide us to walk on salvation path. They do not grant any favor to devotees nor they curse opponents.
4--When one completes present life term built in previous life soul leaves present body known as death. Soul leaves immediately for another predetermined location and reach there in micro time.
Second part of your question is too difficult to understand for your age. Once you study Jainism fully you can know why souls are being killed by others. Briefly if we kill some soul they build negative revenge feeling for us and some of them may kill us in their next birth with revenge feeling to nullify the revenge. Hence if we adopt live and let live philosophy we can avoid such misfortunes.
I came back from camp. But in my mind I was puzzled for one question that whether God can see us? Because if He is not watching us how good things done can be noticed ? I turned to Aagams to check whether God can see us. I got the answer in 14/10th chapter of Bhagwatisutra. One can refer it for more clarity and knowledge.
Pujya Bhagwan Mahaveerswami has answered questions of 
PujyaGurugautamswani on this subject. He informed that Siddha can see and know ordinary human .They also can see other Siddhas and Arihant as well. They do not have organs they see Dyan and Darshan

Similarly Arihant Bhagwan and Kevaldyani can see and know all of those three Only Siddhabhagwan cannot speak. We are not in front of them constantly. For it they have to use special Dyanaupayog. Thus it satisfied my query can HE  see  us--Definitely yes-so carry on with good work and cutting of sins. Karma theory is there to watch us and plan results for us. We call it destiny. Thus we conclude the session.

JAIJINEDRA------------!!!---------- JAI MAHAVEER----------!!!.
