the linkage here becomes increasingly relevant the more...?

Should "the linkage here becomes increasingly relevant the more rarefied one's happiness becomes" be "the more increasingly relevant linkage here becomes the more rarefied one's happiness becomes"?

Context:

Given this situation, we can see that one could desire to become
more loving and compassionate for purely selfish reasons. This is a
paradox, of sorts, because these attitudes undermine selfishness, by
definition. They also inspire behavior that tends to contribute to the
happiness of other human beings. These states of mind not only feel
good; they ramify social relationships that lead one to feel good with
others, leading others to feel good with oneself. Hate, envy, spite,
disgust, shame!athee are not sources of happiness, personally or
socially. Love and compassion are. Like so much that we know about
ourselves, claims of this sort need not be validated by a controlled
study. We can easily imagine evolutionary reasons for why positive
social emotions make us feel good, while negative ones do not, but
they would be beside the point. The point is that the disposition to
take the happiness of others into account -to be ethical - seem to
be a rational way to augment one's own happiness. As we will see in
the next chapter, the linkage here becomes increasingly relevant the
more rarefied one's happiness becomes. The connection between
spirituality!ate cultivation of happiness directly, through precise
refinements of attention!aad ethics is well attested. Certain atti-
tudes and behaviors seem to be conducive to contemplative insight,
while others are not. This is not a proposition to be merely believed.
It is, rather, a hypothesis to be tested in the laboratory of one's life.
