Do you think there is someone in this world, more superior to you ? I went about asking this question to so many people that I found time to talk about, some Christians, some Atheists by logical reasoning, some Hindus and a few Muslims as well and expected an honest personal answer from each of these people. I was indeed surprised when I realized all of them acknowledging that they do not consider themselves the all powerful man in this world. So if every one believes or has faith that there is always someone better than "himself" in whatever instant of time should that not be the truth then. If everybody not all fools think, there is someone/something that is more capable of each one of them considered individually, should it be called faith, intelligence or ignorance ?
Here comes the mathematical induction, with initial hypothesis in comparing two people A and B from the world's population. One of A or B is superior. That is, given a choice of survival for their life only one will survive. But both A and B believe that there is someone else that is much more capable of survival than either of them. If someone did organize this as a connected chain over an entire population under consideration marking who is superior to whom, there will be exactly one person left with the entire world that believes there is someone/something superior to him that always exists. This combines with the irony that he "exists" for the present and the assumption he "will" for the future.
How do you relate happiness with the Supreme being? In this relativistic world, happiness and ambition are goals derived by comparing ourselves with the rest of the world, competing ourselves with the rest of the world. This kind of happiness is not permanent. It is matter of time that every human will have to endear and experience sorrow/ defeat in the route to achieving materialistic goals.
The absolute happiness lies in the person not placing his well being at the mercy of somebody else's existence. This attachment/relation with the society could be in the form of affection to his own parents, love for his wife and children, ambition to achieve a monetary goal or jealousy with an office colleague or a vindictive attitude towards a competitor.
If we can visualize the idea of the Supreme being as a person in thought space, happiness with respect to the Supreme Being is like vesting your interest in that thought space. Happiness is what your mind derives out of associating the feelings like love, affection, jealousy, vengeance etc. towards the the great person that you have created in your mind as Supernatural. Now the immediate question, what if such a supernatural does not exist in real life. Does it really matter ? Are you not feeling happy already ? You will not be thinking about this question, if you have realized Absolute happiness! I define this as the Absolute value of happiness.
Why do so many religions exist ? While words like convenience, miraculous occurrence, evolution and non-existence exist precisely to confuse the common man, I am going to add yet another mathematical connotation from the inverse problem theory.
Roughly speaking, "inverse problems" can be understood as problems where the answer is known, but not the question. Or where the results, or consequences are known, but not the cause. A simple example would be to consider three streams that join to form a river. Given for a fact that three factories are flushing known amounts of pollutant into the streams, it is the forward problem to be able to calculate the resulting pollution in the river. The inverse problem tries to answer which pollutant came from which factory given a sample of the polluted stream. As can be seen, there is infinite number of solutions to the inverse problem.
We exist as humans with a definite thought process. The urge to know and satisfy ourselves with the cause for our existence hence becomes the inverse problem. Obviously, one should expect infinite answers.
