Life finds its purpose and fulfillment in the expansion of happiness.

The line frames “purpose” not as an external duty or fixed achievement, but as an inner trajectory: life is fulfilled insofar as happiness grows in breadth and depth. In Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s idiom, happiness is typically linked to the stabilization of inner peace through meditation and the reduction of stress, so “expansion” suggests a progressive, cumulative quality—happiness becoming more continuous and less dependent on circumstances. The statement also implies an ethical ripple effect: as happiness expands within an individual, it can extend outward into relationships and society, making personal well-being a foundation for harmonious action rather than a private indulgence.
