What does Garuda Purana and Srimad Bhagavatam say about the punishment for suicide?

The Garuda Purana and Srimad Bhagavatam teach that suicide does not end the soul's existence or extinguish mental suffering, because as Bhagavad-gītā 8.6 states, "Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body... that state he will attain without fail," confirming that the subtle body of mind, intelligence, and false ego continues to experience unresolved distress and desires. The scriptures explain that prematurely destroying the gross body interrupts allotted karma, causing the soul to suffer in a disembodied preta (ghost) condition without sensory organs to satisfy severe hunger, thirst, and cravings—a state of profound punishment for the misguided act—while SB 3.30.1 reminds us that "a person engaged in material consciousness does not know the powerful strength of the time factor, by which he is being carried," showing how suicide results from ignorance of time's relentless law. Nevertheless, the human form of life is extraordinarily rare and precious, offering genuine hope to transcend all suffering through devotional service rather than fall into the three destructive gates of lust, anger, and greed warned against in BG 16.21. By taking shelter of Bhakti-yoga and chanting the Holy Names—Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahā-mantra—one can permanently purify the mind, burn away karmic bondage, and attain the supreme spiritual destination, for the Divine Name has the power to deliver even those overwhelmed by material anguish when approached with faith and surrender.
