Original Capital

We run after Maya and we build up mountains of attachment for material things. But a saint called Kabir said, "Listen, my friends! Ultimately nothing stays in your grasp. You will lose everything, even what you have." If you construct a palace of attachment and desire for worldly things, then you will never get anything. Nothing will stay in your hands. You will even lose whatever capital you have, never mind about increasing the capital or getting interest on it. You will even lose your original capital, which is this human life. It is so valuable. It has been given to you by the grace of God.
