An American Military Commander, Pijaro who was standing on the border of South America said to his soldiers, "In North America we find wars, agitations, the spirit of adventure and progress.

A certain clerk approached a spiritual head and said to him, "Maharaj, I am in a state of despair. I think I have to commit suicide". The spiritual head said, “That is cowardice!"

“That courage is unintelligent and thoughtless. A greater courage is necessary to live than to die. Committing suicide means running away from life, fearing it. That man who, fearing the sorrows and agonies of life, runs away from life is a coward. Such a man's courage is no courage”.
