Ask Osho!

What happens to people who commit suicide and their relationship with death?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"People who commit suicide do not love death; they fear life more than death, mistaking it for an escape rather than a profound transformation."

According to Osho, people who commit suicide don’t love death; they fear life more than death and choose it as escape. They often believe death annihilates everything (even soul) because they don’t want to preserve their suffering. Like theists clinging to immortality, this is convenience, not understanding; both avoid truly knowing death, which requires vision beyond mood-driven beliefs.
Suicide is running from pain, not embracing death, and the ideas we cling to about death are often just comfort stories, not real understanding.
Why this matters practically
- Notice when belief is driven by pain or comfort, not truth.
- Address suffering directly (healing, support, meditation) instead of escape.
- Practice awareness to meet life and death without convenient fantasies.
