Suicide - it is paid for with suffering in the afterlife
There are people who think that they can escape trials and suffering by doing away with themselves. In fact, it is even worse afterwards. No one has the right to decide when to die; it is a desertion that will have to be paid for with further suffering. There is no room on high for those who try to enter before their time; they will be turned away and will be obliged to wander in the lower regions of the astral plane for as long as they had left to live on earth. The attitude of those who commit suicide reveals serious flaws. First, it shows that they are ignorant: they do not understand the reason for the trials they must undergo. Next, they are conceited: they think they know better than heaven what they deserve. Finally, they are weak: they cannot put up with difficulties. So there you have it: ignorance, conceit and weakness. And heaven is displeased because they have abandoned their post. Heaven cannot respect those who put an end to their days, because in doing so, they place themselves above the Lords of all destinies and they will then have to submit to great suffering.
