Sulsa Shravika ki kahani

• Mahavir swami Champanagari me pravachan de rahe the. Unhone Ambad namak yati ko Rajgruhi pahunch kar Sulsa Shravika se milne ko kaha ki Mahavir ne use dharmalabh ki khushi bheji hai.
• Ambad ne Sulsa ki pavitra bhakti ko aazmane ke liye alag-alag roop dharne lagay. Pehle to brahma, phir shiv, phir vishnu aur ant me ek tirthankar ka roop banaya. Shehar ke sab log unhe poojne lage, par Sulsa shant rahi aur jhoothe devtaon ke bahane me na aayi.
• Uske baad Sulsa ke jeevan me ek aur pariksha aayi. Sulsa ko baccha nahi hua tha; isliye usne apne pati nag se dusri shaadi ki anurodh ki, lekin nag ne mana kar diya. Tab Sulsa tapasya me lag gayi. Indra ki tarah devon ne use prashansa ki, par Harinaigameshin dev ne uski steadfast bhakti ko test karne ki sochi.
• Harinaigameshin dev, jo yati ka roop dharke aaya, ne lakshapak tel ki maang ki. Sulsa ne tel ka bartan la kar diya, par dev ne jaan-boojh kar bartan gira diya. Sulsa ne chaar bartan la kar diya, par har baar tel gir gaya. Par Sulsa ki shanti aur nishtha nahi hilti. Uski yogyata par devta prasan hue.
• Is prashansa ke pashchath Sulsa ko bahut se putra ki kripa mili; ve sab dharm-vidya, niti, aur kala me maharat rakhte the. Par dushkal ke sangharsh me ve sab yuddh me mar gaye, raja Chetak ki raksha me.
• Dukh ki ghadi me Sulsa aur uske pati parishaant the, lekin Abhaykumar naam ke ek updeshak ne unhe samjhaya ki krodh aur shok karm ke bandhan bante hain. Uske baad Sulsa ne worldly grief se upar uth kar adhik adhyan aur tapasya ki.
• Ant me Sulsa ne sadaiv ke liye shravika ki jindagi apna li. Ve dhyan me hi moksha ki or agrasar rahi aur ant me swarg ko praapt hui. Jain parampara me Sulsa ko aage chal kar chovisi (24 Tirthankaar ke chakra) me Nirmam swami ke roop me janm lene ki bhavishyavani bhi milti hai.

Mukhya shiksha

• Atmavishwas aur sthirata: Kathin parikshao me bhi Sulsa ki shanti nistur thi.
• Daya aur niyantran: Satvik vivek ke saath ki gayi tapasya karmo ko badhaane me madad karti hai.
• Dukh ko dhairya me badalne ki kshamata: Shok ko bhi dharmic unnati me badla ja sakta hai.

Digambar aur Shwetambar ki bhinnatayan

• Kahani ki mool bhavna aur shiksha dono dharmik paramparaon me milti hai, lekin kuch vivaran (parikshao ki detail, putra prapti ki kathayein) alag-alag jagah thodi alag tareh se milti hain. Mool karm, bhakti ki shakti, aur tapasya ki mahatva hamesha bani rehti hai.
