Three jewels of Jainism 

 Right Faith (Samyak Darshan) 
      Right Knowledge (Samyak Gyan) 

    Right Conduct (Samyak Charita)

which constitute the path of  salvation

 In a town there lived a gentleman and his lovely wife.  But he had a 
sleep disorder and could not sleep at night.  So he would do Samayik
(means jain meditation, all Jains do samayik  whenever feasible to them ) 

at night and talk about religion with his wife to pass the night. 

One night, four thieves came to rob the house even though 
the owner was awake.  The owner heard the disturbance while he was 
performing Samayik, and said to himself,  "No one can take what is mine, 

I have proper faith, knowledge, and conduct. 

So I should not disturb my Samayik by getting angry with the 
thieves."

"Furthermore, I am in Samayik, and no worldly thing should bother me.  
What did I bring with me when I was born ? And what will go with me when I die ?
I came and will leave this world empty-handed. Let there be trust in 
path shown by Jina and may be that will give me the strength to complete 
the Samayik in a peaceful frame of mind".

  Meanwhile, a thief threw out a bundle of stolen goods. 
The gentleman uttered loudly, "Namo Arihantanam."
The thieves were startled and recalled hearing something like this
previously.  While recalling, they got Jatismarangnan (knowledge of
previous life), and they discovered that they too, had disturbed their
Samayik in the previous life, and hence they lived on stealing.  They
quickly abhorred themselves and praised the gentleman performing the
Samayik. While thinking on purity of Samayik in their mind they burned 
up four Ghati (major) Karmas and all four attained Kevalgnan.  They came 
to steal, but there was a sudden change of heart and thus they got bliss. 

Then, the gentleman disturbingly finished his Samayik and saw the four
Kevalis seated on golden lotuses.  He thought of the change and began 
to repent his sins.  

MORAL LESSON:  If we abhor our mistakes and sins, we can
get a pure mental condition. Religious rituals are meaningful, but if 
we do not observe them properly, they are meaningless.  One, who repents 
for his sins and decides not to repeat them will be born in Devlok.  Hence 
we should praise those with knowledge and avoid committing
sins
