Dear visitors: This week we ask you to help Krishna.com. We're sustained by donations, and only a tiny percentage of our
visitors give. If everyone reading this gave $2, our fundraiser would be over today. That's right, the price of a mango in
Alachua, Florida (and Krishna likes mangoes.) We're a tiny non-profit with costs of a big website: servers, staff and programs.
If Krishna.com is useful to you, please take a minute to keep it online and growing. Thank you. If you give $25 or more, we'll
email you a gift of the Bhagavad-gita audio book. Click here to donate.

pain and even increases it. From the Vedas we learn that the eternal soul,
or atma, lives on after death. For the soul, the Bhagavad-gita says, there
is neither birth nor death. At the time of death the soul reincarnates, or
transmigrates from one body to another.
According to the law of karma, the soul who has attained a human body
has been put there to reform his life and finally attain liberation, in a
spiritual body free from birth and death. The souls term in the human form
is a type of captivity. How long he stays captive and how much he enjoys
or suffers depend on his previous acts. To kill oneself or someone else
interrupts the souls prescribed term of embodiment. This goes against
natural law, or Gods law, and generates further reactions or penalties.
astral body consists of mind, intelligence, and false ego. The soul living
in such a subtle body keeps his personality, his desires for human
relationships, and his physical desires such as thirst, hunger, and the sex
drive. But because of the souls disembodied state, he cannot satisfy these
desires.

Ghosts routinely wander for years, their natural desires raging unfulfilled.
In an effort to fulfill such desires, ghosts sometimes haunt or possess
another persons body.
So while suicide may apparently give relief from days, months, or years of
physical or mental suffering, a lifetime of unabated misery is destined to
follow.

come to light in which doctors cause or hasten death even without the
peacefulness, family unity, and human kindness retreat further and further
into the background.

return us to our normal, natural position of love, with an understanding of
who we really are and where we are going.
