22 Death Reasons for Suicide
Questioner : What is the cause behind a person ’ s tendency to contemplate and complete a suicide ?
Dadashri : The root cause of suicide is that in one of his past lives he had committed suicide , the effects of that act is carried forward through seven more lives . When you drop a ball from a height of about three feet , it will bounce back up and with each subsequent bounce , the height it bounces up is reduced and eventually the ball ceases to bounce . That is a natural process , a natural principle of motion . Similarly if a person commits suicide just once , then this act is perpetuated for seven more lives . The intensity of the effects carried forward is not visible but they decrease each time and eventually coming to an end .
In The Final Moments …
At the time of death , a balance sheet of the dying person ’ s entire life ’ s activities arises in front of him . As he reads this summary of his life in 45 minutes , his new body for next life is formed . In this duration , he may become a fodder eating animal or a bread eating human being . This is the great importance of Kaliyug and this effect of the current time cycle is such that it is extremely difficult to acquire a human form again !
Questioner : In the final moments of death , who knows when the ears stop receiving the holy messages uttered in the dying man ’ s ears ?
Dadashri : Many people will whisper in the dying person ’ s ear and tell him to recite Lord Rama ’ s name . The fools ! Why do they ask him to recall Lord Rama when he is no longer around and is in a Siddha State , without a body ?
