There is no purpose. You are confusing purpose with process. 
Whether there is or is not karma has nothing to do with the question 
of whether there us or is not purpose. Whether there is or is not a 
universe has nothing to do with whether there is or is not purpose. 
Many years ago when I was meditating, the "answer" came to me in the 
following six words:

It is,
Things are,
That's it.

There is no sense analyzing that. Either you get it or you don't

The uselesness of analysis can be seen in the Six Aphorisms of 
Naropa, which (this is from memory) go something like this:

Don't think
Don't meditate
Don't concentrate
Don't visualize
DON'T DO ANYTHING
Just let ir be.

which in a few words sums up the practice known as Mahamudra in Tibet 
and Shikan-taza in Japan.
