This song has been taken waaay out of context. If I had only one sentence to describe what I believe this song is about. That is, what I believe the message he is trying to convey to us and his brother is "what good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?"
He gave up the security of a life around people who love him and who would give their lives for him, all for money. That is the message of this song.
