Yes, of course, souls can come back to finish their work.<br />

That is why they come back – because their work of<br />

attaining divine liberation is not completed. There are<br />

many examples through history of proven cases of<br />

reincarnation. In fact, when I was young, doing sadhana<br />

in the Himalayan jungles, I met several people (including<br />

very small children) who told me about their past births,<br />

even down to the smallest detail of the home in which they<br />

lived and their previous families. They explained the<br />

circumstances of their death and how their work was<br />

thwarted by death. These details of their lives have been<br />

confirmed through independent sources.<br />

However, to commit suicide in the hope that in the next<br />

life our wishes will be fulfilled is a grave mistake. This is<br />

true regardless of what our wishes are, whether they are<br />

wishes to be with a particular boy or girl or whether they<br />

are wishes to succeed in a particular arena. Suicide is never<br />

the answer.<br />

God has given us a great gift of life. Through this life we<br />

have the opportunity to move closer to Him and closer to<br />

the Heavenly Abode. However, if we throw away this<br />

opportunity, then we lose the chance. People, especially<br />

youth, make the tragic mistake of thinking that suicide will<br />

give them a “fresh start” on a new life. But it is the exact<br />

opposite. By committing suicide they condemn themselves<br />

to lifetimes of not only the exact problems they faced in<br />

this life, but also to the negative karma accrued by killing<br />

themselves. Thus, their next life will inevitably be much<br />

more problematic and much more painful than this one.<br />

after death. Some cultures give their bodies to<br />

vultures. Do these good deeds at the end of life<br />

help the soul for rebirth? Are they beneficial to<br />

the soul or does the soul have to suffer for the<br />

broken body?<br />

Whatever we do, in life or death, that helps others is a<br />

good deed. We should help others as much as we can<br />

during life, and if in death we can help them further, then<br />

we should do that as well. There is a tradition when saints<br />

die that they are not cremated, but rather their bodies are<br />

floated down Ganga. The reason for this is so that the fish<br />

and other animals can gain nourishment from their bodies.<br />

The lives of saints are lived for humanity, and even in death<br />

they want every cell to be useful to another creature.<br />

So, the soul certainly does not have to suffer through<br />

donating organs, and – in fact – it is benefited. Our souls<br />

progress and benefit through every good deed we perform,<br />

whether in life or in death.<br />
