Suicide rate have increased significantly by 25% in USA, it is like an epidemic. It is painful for person who is committing suicide as well as everyone surrounded by him/her.
Why are so many famous, successful, talented, wealthy and also common people committing suicide? Most likely because of this two reason:
1. People committing suicide do not find meaning to live life after accomplishing materially by means of fame, power, talent, wealth or fashion.
2. They think problems of living is much more greater then dying. Many people struggle to survive in this world and there are many other suffering from chronic mental illnesses.
How to prevent or fight against Suicide?
1. SB: 10.14.58 says padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ na teṣām: There is struggle & danger at every steps in our life. No one is immune from day to day problems of the life mainly related to family, work, health & wealth. These issues are not permanent, they come & go like summer & winter and we must learn to tolerate them. You are not alone, everyone is in same boat.
2. Do not focus or spend all of your energy for material comfort or development only. From inner core we are Spiritual being covered by material body. Yes material success is important but we also need to strengthen ourselves internally and grow spiritually to live happy, peaceful and pleasant life.
3. The ultimate meaning or purpose of human life is Devotion to the Supreme God. This is only relationship in our life which is Eternal. By maintaining Devotional relationship with the Supreme our life become Devotional & Blissful.
4. Seek medical guidance for any curable mental or physical health issues. We should empower ourselves with Spiritual Wisdom, Spiritual intelligence & Devotion to face the challenges in this world.
Bg 2.14 -- O son of Kuntī, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O son of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.
Bg 2.15 -- O best among men [Arjuna], the person who is not disturbed by happiness and distress and is steady in both is certainly eligible for liberation.
Bg 5.7 -- One who works in devotion, who is a pure soul, and who controls his mind and senses is dear to everyone, and everyone is dear to him. Though always working, such a man is never entangled ( Vedabase.com ).
Have a Spiritually Successful Day.
Thank You.

MY SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION & SOURCE:
I am inspired to hear & read Vedic Scriptures by regularly hearing Sri Pandurang Shashtri Athvale known as Dadaji ( speak on Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Veda based discourses & western philosophy ) and association of Swadhyay Parivar every Sunday in Swadhya Kendra.
I also hear and read the discourses & literature on Vedic thoughts from Srila Prabhupada, his disciples & grand disciples ( HH Bhakti Rasamitra Swami, HH Chaitanya Charandas Prabhu, Shubha Vilas Prabhu, Sutapa Das, Amarnath Dasa, HH Bhakticharu Swami, HH Urmila Devi Dasi, HH Sivarama Swami, HH Radhanath Swami, HH Romapada Swami, Lal Govind Prabhu ( Gujarati & Hindi) Prahalad Maharaj in Surat (Gujarati) .......and many more from ISKCON......).
FYI: Good source of Vedic literature: Vedabase.com Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence & Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures. Hearing & reading these scriptures, Eating Sanctified Pure Food and Chanting Vedic Mantra daily are purifying to our senses, nourishing to our heart ( Soul ), transcendental to our consciousness, uplifting to our emotions and thus perfecting our Free Will. Otherwise this powerful material world will degrade us.
It is always good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. I am posting articles based on Vedic scriptures and expressing my opinion, thoughts, understanding & emotions. Writing/sharing the articles is my Devotion to God/Gita/Guru. Of course I use Smartphone/Google/Pexels search to collect some data. Thanks to Facebook/Social media for providing me the platform.
Besides my parents, wife, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE. Hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by Grace of Guru & God ( Krishna , Absolute Truth ).
NOTE:
I use the word Hearing instead of Listening when it comes to Scriptures. Because Scriptures are so potent that simply by Hearing them even if you don’t try to interpret or analyze or understand them still there will be passive positive effects on our mind & senses.
We can follow either Quran, Bible, Judaism, Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Gita or any other Philosophy that makes sense to us, purify us , elevate our consciousness and qualify us to understand the God and instill the love for God & his creation. ( whichever way we can understand the God, Form or Formless..or Universal Consciousness or Energy ...etc ).
Don’t try to understand God by Name, Religion & Depiction ( means image, picture...etc ) but try to understand him by Definition through Scriptures. Transcendental subjects of God & his creation can not be understand by mental speculation. Some times people ask why God is Supreme? It is just like asking why circle is circular? Just by definition circle is circular similarly by definition God is unborn, complete, unlimited, infinite, eternal, the Absolute Truth the source of everything, cause of all causes.
I see the God besides above mention qualities as a eternal living person ( not a abstract or some kind of light ) known by name Krishna means who attracts everyone has also MANY other NAMES, form, abode, many incarnation, activities, qualities, associates, full of wisdom, bliss, cause of all causes.
Bg 9.17 -- I am the father of this universe, the mother, the support and the grandsire. I am the object of knowledge, the purifier and the syllable oṁ. I am also the Ṛg, the Sāma and the Yajur Vedas.
Bg:13-12:-- Accepting the importance of self-realization; and philosophical search for the Absolute Truth ( God ) – all these I declare to be knowledge, and besides this whatever there may be is ignorance. ( Vedabase.com ).
