to the extent of one's reduction of necessities and limitations of possessions there will exist happiness and peace.

For this very reason, the Jain vow of non-attachment or of limitation of possessions is of universal benevolence."
"Avoid nocturnal meals. By taking food at night injury is done to many jivas (living beings), intellect becomes corrupted and in the next birth one suffers a bad existence."
If you walk, look the ground you tread upon. First filter water and other liquids and then use them.
Anger, pride, deceit, greed, attachment, aversion all these are terrible foes. Be away from them.
Do not speak ill of anybody, nor feel jealous. Know thyself. Do not involve yourselves in strives and quarrels. Maintain mutual goodwill and do not do evil to anybody.
Be friendly towards all living beings. All the living being in this world are like our friends, therefore, do not kill any one, even Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
