Killing oneself
The Gurus rejected suicide, as we haven't the right to give or take life.
Birth and death are the mercy of our dear creator. Death can be of
just not the body but also of the mind and the soul.
- The soul and body are all at your (God's) mercy. You yourself take and rejuvenate. You forgive and merge us into yourself.
