524. Why do we waste our time?

```

O Beauty, you and I

Belong to Heaven.

Why do we waste our time

Here on this ugly earth?

O Joy, you and I

Belong to Heaven.

Why do we waste our time

Here in this world of sorrows and pangs?

O Freedom, you and I

Belong to Heaven.

Why do we waste our time

Here in this night of bondage?

O Perfection, you and I

Belong to Heaven.

Why do we waste our time

Here on this dark-spotted planet?

Let us go, let us run

Towards our Heaven-free life! ```
