"Within You Without You"

When I listened to Sgt. Pepper a couple days ago, the phrase "the people who gain the world and lose their soul" in "Within You Without You" stuck out to me.  Because the song seems to have some Eastern influences (certainly in the music), I'm not sure if this is coincidental or not, but that line is very similar to Mark 8:36:  "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?"
