Worshipping God makes one happy in a uniquely nourishing way, so much so that it becomes worth adjusting one’s behavior and ideology in order to sustain it. This happiness manifests on levels ranging from the emotional, psychological, and intellectual. It is experienced objectively but idealized according to each’s individual theology. As one procures the fruit of their devotion, they are immediately enlightened to the sovereign nature of its sustenance when compared with all else in life. Therefore, to experience faith is to experience the highest peace, happiness, and beauty in existence, ultimately transforming one’s relationship with the rest of the world. This is particularly in regards to one’s consciousness of the world’s undesirability relative to God, which compels us to seek “refuge” from it in Him (through devotion). If one experiences true faith and decides to abandon it, they are very consciously throwing away the most fulfilling and significant ideological and cognitive shift they will ever undergo in their lifetime. If one rejects the search for faith after learning of its constituents, then they knowingly submit themselves to arduous grappling with fallible notions of purpose and contentment in life without guaranteed avail. And if one’s life goal is not to live with purpose in a state of contentment, or at least perpetual access to transcendent sustenance, then they will subsist in an existence void of peak fulfillment.
