Karma aur Adinath Bhagwan ki kahani ka saar bahut seedha hai:

• Adinath (Rishabhanath) Jain dharm ke pehle Tirthankara hain. Unki kahani humein yeh sikhati hai ki atman par jo karm meledte hain, wahi uske aage ki gatiyon ko tai karte hain.
• Karma atma par bandha (bondage) ke roop mein chipak jaata hai jab hum galat soch, galat vichar, aur galat karm karte hain. In kahaaniyon mein Adinath ki zindagi ussi karmic patr ka result thi: purva janmo se aaye karm hum par asar daalte hain.
• Adinath ki tapasya (ascetic practice), dhyan, ahimsa, aur niyama ko apna kar unhone apne karmon ko palat diya ya khatam kiya. Inhi karmo ki vinash se ant mein ve kevala jnana (mukti) ki austhavni par pahunchte hain.
• Is kahani ka mool sandesh: atma ki aatma-bodh aur samarpan se karm ke bandhan toot sakte hain. Anek janam ke baad bhi, sahi sahayata, satvik jeevan, aur tapasya se karm kam hote hain; jab sab karm khatam ho jaate hain to atma Siddha ho jaati hai.

Kya aap chahenge ki main is vishay par adhik saral artha (arth) ya Digambar–Shwetambar ke beech ke vibhinn drishtikon ke hisaab se aur spasht taur par samjhaun?
