Question: Is Suicide the Way to Go Back to God? | |||||
If this world is just an illusion, why are we all here? If this is not our real home, why shouldn't one go for suicide as an answer? Is suicide the way to go back to God? Hema P. | |||||
Answer: Surrender to God is the Way to Go to Him. | |||||
This world is not an illusion. It is the prison house of God's kingdom, therefore it is factual, tangible, and not unreal. Is the prisoner's road to freedom to commit suicide? No. His ticket to freedom is to rectify his criminal mentality of flaunting the laws of the state so that he can be released from prison and again become a free citizen. If one commits suicide, according the law of karma, because he has destroyed his gross body in his next lifetime he will not get a gross body. He will instead become a ghost and live in a very hellish, frightful existence. But if instead of committing suicide he will take advantage of Lord Sri Krishna's instructions in the Bhagavad-gita and surrender Himself fully unto the Lord, he will qualify himself to enter the Lord's eternal and live there forever in unlimited bliss.
