Guest guest Posted September 15, 2001 Report Share Posted September 15, 2001 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: The most important among all Dharmas is that Dharma which allows man to live. Therefore suicide is considered a great sin. After all, the question of Dharma comes only if a person is alive. When we apply this rule from the Vyashti level (individual) to the Samishti level (collective), we can interpret Dharma as that which ensures continuance of human race. Whatever helps for the destruction of mankind is a great sin. Man's desire to live is a fundamental one. In fact, it is a fundamental right. The human race as a whole also has this right. Therefore, the first and the last purpose of Dharma is to ensure that the human race continues.
