"What does it profit a person if s/he wins the whole world, but loses the soul?" (Lk 9:25).
It means the value of the soul is inestimable, it is unspeakable.
The possession of the whole world and all it contains won't make people happy.
Its pleasures are false and deceptive!
Its riches, ranks and honors are powerless to satisfy us.
So long as we are without them, they glitter and sparkle.
So long as we don't have them, they seem desirable!
The moment we enjoy them, we realize that they are but empty bubbles!
The worst tragedy: we can't keep them for ever!
Death comes and separates us from the pleasures and properties.
Naked we come, naked we go!
We are dust and unto dust we shall return!
The worst bankruptcy is not wealth, not health; it is the loss of the soul! Dr John Kudiyiruppil
