Human existence is supremely sacred. It is precious, divine and should be lived befittingly.

The duration of life is under the control of Him who gave life, the Creator. A mistaken idea some people entertain is that they can kill themselves by suicide. So, they plan to punish and destroy the body which is inert of initiative. The mind has to be punished for the despair which overwhelms the will to live is caused by the erratic mind, not the body.

Just think of this for a while. You are in this body in order to realize the God that you really are. This body is the cocoon you have spun round yourselves, by means of impulses and desires. Use it while it lasts to grow wings so that you can escape from it! You came into this world crying, announcing your grief at being thrust into it, grief for having lost hold on God. Having come with grief, decide not to go with it, from here. Get rid of it in this life itself.
