45. Why am I such a fool?

```

Mind is transitory,

Yet I love my mind.

Alas, why am I such a fool?

Money is transitory,

Yet I love my money-power,

Alas, why am I such a fool?

Desire-life is transitory,

Yet I love my desire-life.

Alas, why am I such a fool?

Earth-crown is transitory,

Yet I love my earth-crown.

Alas, why am I such a fool?
