If you are not living a dharmic life on a daily basis, you will not be able to handle the onslaught of life. When things turn upside down, your mind will not be able to help you at all. The upanishad mentions 6 vices that are inherent in human beings: Lust, Anger, Greed, Pride, Attachment, and Envy. Dharmic way of life on a daily basis will slowly purify your mind and will help evolve your soul. When life hits you hard; when you are rejected by your relatives, friends, and society; you may go into depression. In that depression, you may think of committing Atmahatya. Please understand Atmahatya is NEVER a solution of your problems. The modern society never educates a man or a woman who they really are. Most people live in a very superficial materialistic way thinking this body alone is everything. This is where Dharmic way of life come into play. When you study Dharmic text you will understand that you are more than this physical body. Even if you commit Atmahatya out of utter dejection, your subtle mind remains. This is the mind which travels seeking new bodies according to your next prarabha karma. Creation happens when a portion of Sanchita Karma is ready to fructify. When people spit on you for your bad karma, understand there is a way out of this. There is a path of "Prayaschita". Acknowledge that you have committed a mistake and start living a Dharmic Life. Human life is a precious life wich comes with 4 purusarthas: Artha (Wealth), Kaam (Desire), Dharma (Good Sanchita Karmas), and Moksha (Liberation from the cyle of birth & death). Most people spend their whole life for wealth & desire fullfillment and never seek Dharma and Moksha. People commit Atmahatya thinking it will put them out of their misery. I repeat, Atmahatya is NEVER a solution. Seek out prefesional help if need be, and start living a Dharmic Life NOW. Earth is a pilgrimage, you must learn who you are! ~ Om Tat Sat.
