How soul departs according to veda?
What is suicide? Suicide is the termination of life in an unnatural manner. Birth and death are in the hands of the Divine. We have no business to interfere with birth and death; we should not terminate our life. Also, those who believe that suicide will make their problems end don't realize that death through suicide is not the end. The problems only extend because our Karma does not disappear with suicide. Therefore, people should not encourage or appreciate people who end their life with suicide. Life does not belong to us, it belongs to the Divine and we must respect that.
