JAINISM---12 GEMS FROM UTTARADHYANSUTRA---!!!-- PART--1.

During my last visit to Gurudeo, I could obtain the diary from the devotee, whom I also met previously. I was curious to know the contents of notes from "Uttaradhyanasutra " penned down by him.
The same is being shared herewith in parts. No doubt original book can be more useful + exact. Uttaradhyanasutra is widely respected among Jain as Mahaveer Bhagwan got salvation while delivering 36 chapters of it. Let me share  meaning of selected 12 teachings of Bhagwan.I share one from each chapter to motivate readers for  full book reading at least once in a life time.Not to miss the opportunity.
1.One shall undertake difficult task to press soul to control mind and organs, It can bring happiness in current and next lives-01/15.-Vinay.
2.Monk shall keep silence and do not mind any harsh language against him. He shall also not mind attempt on his life with a deep understanding that body can perish but soul is permanent 02/25 and 02/27.Chapter-Parishah Vijay. Total there are 22 causes to suffer.
3.In current life to get four favors for any living souls is too difficult. They are birth as human, hearing religious literature, faith on Jain religion  maximum efforts in religious activities- chapter----03/01.
Char Batoki Durlabhata.Only fortunate can get all of these four.
4.One may be engaged in Karma or sins for others and self. At the time of maturities of Karmas nobody can share the sufferings-04/4.
Chapter-Jeevan Asanskrit. Karma do not make any slight favor.
5.Religious souls with backing of good deeds and control over organs can have a peaceful and delightful intellectual death- 05/18.
Chapter---Sakam Akam Maran.Sakam means with wish for Moksha.
6.Salvation seekers shall retire from all type of enmity with others. Knowing that pain and sufferings disliked by everybody like own self ,he shall not kill any one.06/07. Chapter Shullak Nirganthiya. 
7.Human life is like principal and life in heaven is like rewards on investment. If both these lives are lost in vain then naturally, one gets term in hell and animal or plants.07/16. Chapter--------- Oarabhiya .
8.Satisfaction of a soul is too difficult. A soul will always remain unsatisfied even after getting complete universe as gift from a powerful king of heaven ( Surendra).-----08/16.Chapter Kapiliya.
9.Who ever have doubts of not reaching destination, build homes for temporary shelter. Monks have full confidence to get salvation with correct combination of knowledge ,faith and character ,hence they do not build  residences-09/16.Chapter Nami Pravajya.
10.Human life is as unstable as drop of water on leaf. Hence Gautam do not waste a micro second of it.10/01.-Dumpannak.
11.As a rising sun gets more glory once it erase darkness a soul finds more glory with self discovery and correct knowledge-11/10.
Chapter Bahushrutpuja.
12.Apparently fast has it's own superiority over caste and other
issues. As a result Harikeshmuni has bright aura to his credit-12/37.
Chapter Harikeshiya.
Please excuse me for any wrong reproduction or translation attempt.
I intend to share one each para from 36 chapters of this holy masterpiece. This Sutra is read in full at each Dipawali to mark respect to Lord Mahaveerswami's Nirwan (salvation/Moksha).
