[QUOTE="Archived_Member16, post: 13354, member: 884"] [b]Re: Train suicide mother left note "blaming family pressures" ![/b] [COLOR=blue][URL="http://www.depressionindiaonline.com/main/sikhism_and_suicide1.asp"][COLOR=#0000ff]http://www.depressionindiaonline.com/main/sikhism_and_suicide1.asp[/COLOR][/URL] [SIZE=5]Suicide - The Sikh view: [/SIZE] [SIZE=5]Sikh moral thinking: [/SIZE] Sikhs derive their ethics largely from the teachings of their scripture, Guru Granth Sahib, and the Sikh Code of Conduct (the Rehat Maryada). Guidance also comes from the example set by the gurus, and from the experience of the Sikh community over the last 500 years. [SIZE=4]Suicide:[/SIZE] Sikhs have a high respect for life which they see as a gift from God. Most Sikhs are against suicide, as they believe that the timing of birth and death should be left in God's hands. The Sikh Gurus rejected suicide, as it is an interference in God's plan. Many Sikhs faced torture and ultimate death at the hands of tyrant rulers and fanatic leaders, though they could have found relief through suicide. Suffering, they said, was part of the operation of karma, and human beings should not only accept it without complaint but act so as to make the best of the situation that karma has given them. The Gurus regarded that man must have the moral courage to bear his suffering without lament. He should pray for the grace of God to enable him to put up with pain in a spirit of resignation and surrender. Birth and death are the prerogatives of God and under His command, and it is no business of man to oppose the Divine Will. [SIZE=4][COLOR=red]Care for others: [/COLOR] [COLOR=red][/COLOR][/SIZE] [COLOR=red]Much of Sikh moral teaching is devoted to caring for others who are less fortunate. [/COLOR] [COLOR=red][/COLOR] [COLOR=red]This suggests that the Sikh reaction to situations where people think about suicide would be to provide such good care that suicide becomes an unattractive option. [/COLOR] [COLOR=red][/COLOR] [SIZE=4]Conclusion: [/SIZE] The Gurus rejected suicide, as we do not have the right to give or take life. Birth and death are the mercy of our dear creator. Sikhism (as already said) believes that life is a gift from God, but it also teaches that we have a duty to use life in a responsible way. Thus, it is amply clear that there is no place for suicide in Sikhism. After all suffering is a part of the human condition and has a place in God's scheme. Suffering also prompts man to turn his thoughts to God. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
