You'll say: "No, no, better let me suffer from the disease. I don't want to be killed." Is it not? Will you agree? Suppose you have got too much suffering, miseries of life, and I suggest, "All right, let me cut your throat and kill you, and everything will be finished," "Oh, no, no, no, I'm not agreeable to that." That is the sane man's statement. "Oh, I am not going to be killed for ending my miseries." That is the nature. So the theory that after making end of all these material miseries, there is nothing, void, oh, that is not attractive. That is not attractive at all.
And that is not the fact. Real fact is that I am sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha (Bs 5.1), part and parcel of the Supreme.
The Supreme Lord is sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha, and I am qualitatively one with Him. I am also, although I am small . . . just like a particle of the seawater, that is also salty. That is also salty. The taste of a small drop of seawater is the same as the taste of the big, vast, big ocean of the . . . Atlantic Ocean. So the quality is the same. Similarly, I may be small. I may be a spiritual atom. My position is that I am spiritual atom, and the Supreme Spirit is all, the greatest, but that does not mean I am different from the quality. I am of the same quality. So I am not void. Na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre (BG 2.20).
If by frustration one commits suicide, oh, that is not the end of his miseries. He creates another misery. He creates another misery by committing suicide. Just like here, in the state law, if somebody attempts suicide and takes some poison, and if by treatment of the physician he's all right, he's again under the law, to be punished. Perhaps you know it. After curing him from that poisonous effect, he is under criminal code of the state: "Why you have attempted suicide?" Similarly, in the laws of nature if you commit suicide, that is another criminal act. So suicidal policy, to end this misery of life, is not all. We must have, I mean to say, greater life.
In the Bhagavad-gītā you have read—already we have discussed—paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate. Paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate (BG 2.59): "One has to end this miserable life after finding out a life of bliss and knowledge and eternity." That should be our . . . we should not be trying only to end these miseries of life, expecting something void. No. Therefore Lord Kṛṣṇa . . . this cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭam (BG 4.13).
