One of the noblest ideals is to protect and serve all beings. When a service is selflessly rendered, the spirit of service grows gradually in us. Our heart yearns to reach God as a first step in the spiritual pilgrimage. However, many people become tense and stressful as a result of their urge to grow healthier, wealthier and happier at any cost.
No one can get what all he or she wants to get in a short span of life. Happy life is to feel satisfied with what one gets and live in compromise. People who have compromised thus will direct their attention towards God. But, some people treat their troubles as formidable hurdles and foolishly decide to commit suicide as they are depressed with their ill-health or disappointed by not getting their desires fulfilled. Here, 'soul' means "self". Killing one's own body tantamount to murder. We have to protect, nurture and reach God through the body which is a gift of God. We have no right to kill it. Baba stopped a chronic patient from committing suicide. We have to bear the brunt of sins committed in the past births, seek shelter at Sai's Feet and liberate ourselves from the bondage to make life meaningful. But, killing one's own self is not a remedy to escape from misery. We should realize that taking refuge at Sai's Feet is a solution to all mundane problems.
