suicide is not the end of life or its problems. but it definitely increases your problems in next life. moreover, the period between suicide and next birth is very painful. if people know the reality of life after suicide then they will never commit suicide.
what is suicide – you just destroy your physical body. but what about your other bodies – emotional body, mental body, spiritual body? suicide does not destroy your other bodies. unless all your bodies are destroyed, you won’t be able to take next birth and your soul will linger on in the earthy plane. thats the case with pretas, bhut (ghost) etc. this state of ghost is extremely painful. you can multiply the pain of human beings by 100 times and still it won’t be equal. its a very miserable, painful, sad state. words are short to explain the pain one goes through in ghost form.
in santan dharma or hinduism, great importance is given to burning the dead body as soon as possible so that the soul is disconnected from the attachment with the physical body. then there is a elaborate procedure of 14 days which is for other bodies.
normally when someone dies young in an accident then the physical body is destroyed but the other bodies are still young and they have lot of vibrant energy. so the soul can linger on till the other bodies slows down and vibrancy is reduced to the extent that soul can move on to next birth. thats why always burn the dead bodies of your loved ones and do the 14 day ritual after death. try to fulfill the desires of your loved ones before they die, so they die in a desireless state. because any desire will lower their consciousness and higher birth will not be possible.
suicide makes the soul weak – whenever you give up or break down then you become weak in will power. you become a weak person. which is not good. never do anything which makes you a weak person or brings conflict in you or brings guilt or sin feeling in you. be integrated from inside. be one from inside. be total. never lower your self esteem. be proud of yourself whosoever you are. god has created you so nothing is wrong with you. if something is wrong then its not with you but with people judgement or expectations.
when someone commit suicide then the person is in a very low state of consciousness. his will power is very low, his self esteem is also very low. so in next birth he will be born with the same low state of energy. plus he will be born with load of bad karma. because by committing suicide you have given enormous pain to your loved ones. many karmic ties are left incomplete for which you are responsible. so in next time, law of karma is going to be very tough with you. you have to balance everything. its like you are going to be born with a big debt/loan.
so its become a difficult state from both end. you are born with low self esteem and low will power. but you have to clear a big bag of negative karma (big debt from past life). so suicide does not solve anything but it just makes your state more difficult.
editor note – religion which are born in india like hinduism, jainism, buddhism all believe in the reincarnation. they also believe in law of karma. if you are new to the concept of reincarnation then ‘brian weiss’ books are excellent for someone born in west.
according to santan dharma, soul goes through a cycle of life and death unless it evolves to super conscious state of samadhi. till your attain samadhi (enlightenment) everyone is under the law of karma and is producing negative or positive karmas. so for your own good, don’t commit the big blunder of committing suicide. instead face the situation. make yourself strong. everyone goes through a bad time. but nothing last for ever. neither the good time last nor the bad time last forever. just be a witness to all this drama of life. don’t take defeats or insults personally. destiny (luck) plays a big role in shaping people life. if you are born with good karma then success will be easier to you. so do good karma and wait for your luck to shine.
pray to god for help and you will get help. existence always responds to sincere prayer.
