[Guest guest]

On the contrary, we read in our scriptures that our philosophers do

not want to go to the other worlds, but depreciate them as places

where people weep and laugh for a little while only, and then die. As

long as we are weak we shall have to go through these experiences;

but whatever is true, is here, and that is the human soul. And this

is also insisted upon, that by committing suicide, we cannot escape

the inevitable; we cannot evade it. But the right path is hard to

find.
