Explanation Of Suicide - Prabhupada 0087



690503 - Lecture at Arlington Street Church - Boston

Suicide is killing this body. What is that explanation? Untimely. Untimely. Suicide means that you were given some body to suffer or enjoy for a certain time according to your last fruitive activities. Now, if you commit suicide, that is just like a prisoner is condemned to live in the prison house for six months, but some way or other, if he gets out of the prison, when he is again caught, then he is punished to remain there for one year more.

Suicide is like that. You are having a particular type of body that is given to you for enjoyment or suffering according to your last work. If you finish it untimely, then you have to accept such body again
