Such a great truth. Unfortunately, many have lost, or are in the process of losing their soul. If they would do the reverse of this proverb you've given, we wouldn't be in such a predicament.
It doesn't make any sense that finite beings squander precious moments of life by accumulating material things beyond what their basic needs require just to lose it all upon death. Think of what a wonderful world this could be if Homo sapiens would only realize that hard truth at the age of reasoning rather that at the moment of death. We can learn the wisdom of the proper balance from nature and the purity of creation.
Gain the world; lose your soul.
