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.
