What are the consequences of a lovers’ suicide pact? Is suicide for love justified?
Tragically, lovers make suicide pacts and commit suicide to escape from social, financial or cultural differences that prevent them from being together. Because there is no hope of spending their lives together, they become desperate and end up taking their lives. There are others, who after the death of their partners, commit suicide out of fear of having to spend the rest of their lives alone.
However, the consequences of committing suicide are very grave. People believe it to be an escape from their suffering, but it will only result in greater suffering to come.
What happens when two lovers commit suicide at the same time?
When two people make a lovers suicide pact, they do so with the hope of being reunited in their next life. This is not possible because all future births are determined by one’s own individual karma. They are bound in this life and the effects are experienced in the next life. Nothing can alter this law of karma.
Therefore, it does not matter how strong of a desire you have to be united in your next life. It is your individual karma that will determine your next birth.
Every one of us binds karma during the unfolding of circumstances. During this time, we each have our own opinions and react differently, which determines the type of karma we bind. Because we all have different opinions and viewpoints, it is impossible for us to be born in the same location, at the same time, so that we meet each other again in the next life. Therefore, it is better to live your life in peace and harmony. Make a decision to handle all problems with composure, no matter how painful or excessive the suffering is. Make a firm resolve to look for a solution and overcome your misery. Suicide should never be an option, because you will suffer the consequences in your next life.
Let‘s read the following conversation with Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan about suicide with the lover:
Questioner: What kind of love is it when two lovers commit suicide because there is no acceptance from their families?
Dadashri: Aimless, useless love! How can you call that love? They become emotional and lie across the railroad tracks to commit suicide! Then they will say to each other, ‘we will be together alone in our next life.’ No one should have such expectations. It is each individual’s karma that determines where he or she will go. They will never be together.
Questioner: Would they not be together even though that was their wish?
Dadashri: Nothing happens by wishing. The next life is the result of karma of this life. These are all emotional reactions.
What other solution is there, besides committing suicide for love?
Think about it… If you commit suicide, then you are giving up on any chance of being together. It is like running away from a fight, even before it has started. Instead, try these other solutions:
- Be open and honest with your parents. Do not hide anything from them.
- What qualities does your partner have? How do they make you happy? Explain these things to your parents.
- Listen to your parent's point of view as well.
- Be patient and remain calm.
- Be level-headed. Do not make hasty decisions.
- Maintain open communication with all parties.
- Try your best to convince your parents. After all, parents want to see that their children are happy. Do not go against their wishes. If you make your parents unhappy, then how can you ever be happy in life?
- Do not allow conflicts to create division between you, your partner and your parents.
- If you really love each other, but you cannot be together, then you should pray for the other person’s well-being. That they remain happy wherever they are. That is the sign of true love.
