Wittgenstein quote

Came across this quote in a book where Wittgenstein after asserting "that the meaning of life, i.e. the meaning of the world, we can call God," he offers the following reflections:

Dostoievsky is right when he say that man who is happy is fulfilling the purpose of existence.

Or again we could say that the man is fulfilling the purpose of existence who no longer needs to have any purpose except to live. That is to say, who is content.

The solution of the problem of life is to be seen in the disappearance of this problem....
