No one must commit suicide. It should always be avoided. Suicide is an act of extremism that has a bearing on one's past. Generally, Suicide indicates the colossal loss of hope to live and future is seemingly nullified. I see suicide as an alternate path to life. It should not be seen as an end rather a beginning.

Death is an incident wherein one just sheds the body, because there happens to be no sense in continuing one's activities through this body. I see suicide as an acceptance of the failure of the intellect in its ability to continue successfully in the present body. Though the intellect has accepted its failure, it still possesses its individuality; hence the decision on suicide.

The failure of one's intellect enables us to understand the existence of a supreme being that controls and guides us. The decision on suicide when made, should in fact free the mind, making it calm and composed. The decision on suicide is highly individualistic.

If the decision to suicide is made; then one should look at the future and never the past. Suicide is a voluntary and forceful act of trans-locating ourselves from an undesired past and present to a future of hope and success. Understanding and dwelling in this idea would make us suicide with a positive mind intently fixed on prayers and surrender.

If suicide has been decided as the only option available, then prudence is in executing it with a positive mind, full of hope and prayers on the almighty. Suicide when occurs with a mind full of prayers on almighty, would secure a better life that befits our desires and also elevates us spiritually. The latter part is the point of focus and is most important.

We could relate it to an incident in the epic Mahabharatha. The story of the princess of Kashi, Ms.Amba. She missed to be elevated spiritually. Fate put her in a fix, wherein she can't return to her dad, her lover would not accept her, she cannot marry the prince for whom she was abducted; and the man who abducted her would not marry her.

She could have spent the entire life-span as 'Amba' in prayers and penance, taking it as the divine will; or she could have committed suicide with mind totally surrendered and fixed intently on the supreme self. In which case, her forthcoming birth could have been in such a manner that satiate her desires and also elevate her spiritually. But her sense of performance made her commit suicide with anger and vengeance over Bheeshm only to be reborn as Shikandi.

The mind of Shikandi was never happy. It was always burning with rage and hatred. Peace was lost in its totality. Bheeshm who knew the history and focus of Shikandi, was in total peace, even when hit by the arrows of Arjuna shielded by Shikandi, and also during shedding his body at the dawn of Uttaraayana. Bheeshm was able to be in peace as he understood that his valour and ability can in no way prevent or change the destined future.
