Happiness qoutient & Gita

Gita talks about desires

We have read that desires causes the mahabharat

Buddhism talks about " Desire is teh cause of all suffering"

And I recently heard about the Happiness Quotient (HQ)

Number of desires fulfilled divided by number of desires.

Simple Math if denominator keeps reducing, even if numerator is constant, the HQ keeps increasing

And if denominator becomes 1, i.e. only 1 desire to reach God , and numerator keeps growing as one is grateful for all that is happening, teh HQ grows exponentially and always....

Think about it.
