How many times a day?⁵

Captain, please tell me how many times a day
You think of me.
“Once, My child.”
Alas, only once? You are so unkind to me!

Captain, how many times a day
Do You bless my heart
With Your Love?
“Once a month.”
Alas, alas, only once a month!
Captain, You are so unkind to me!

Captain, please tell me how many times a day
You speak well of me to others.
“Once in three months.”
Once in three months! Alas, alas, alas!
Captain, Your dislike of me is unimaginable!

Captain, why do You think of me
Only once a day?
“My child, what can I do?
When I think of you,
I see that you are thinking of the whole world
And not of Me.”

Captain, why do You bless my heart
With Your Love
Only once a month?
“My child, your heart is full of insincerity,
Plus, you keep your heart’s door
Closed so often.
Do you not realise
That you give Me a shocking experience
With your frequently closed heart?”

Captain, why do You speak well of me to others
Only once in three months?
“My child, if I use My Justice-Light,
Then I will not be able to speak well of you
Even once a year.
It is because to you I am
My Heart’s Compassion-Height
That I speak well of you once in three months.”

But, Captain, I think of You every day
More than once.
I offer my heart’s love to You every day
More than once.
I speak well of You
More than once a day.
“True, you think of Me every day
With no sincerity at all.
Be sincere in your thought!
True, you offer your love to Me
More than once a day,
But your love has no soulful, devoted oneness.
Be soulful in your love!
True, you speak well of Me
More than once a day,
But I clearly see
That there is no inner conviction
In what you say to others about Me.
In a very clever way
You like to draw admiration from others
By speaking well of Me.
Be certain in your pronouncement!”

Captain, that means I will never be able
To please You.
“Not true, My child. You can and you will.”
Captain, when?
“From the day you start feeling
That your life is the beauty of surrender
And your heart is the purity of gratitude.”
