When I forget when I remember

```

When I forget to think of God once, He smiles.

When I forget to think of God twice, He laughs.

When I forget to think of God thrice, He cries.

He smiles lovingly because I am helpless.

He laughs profoundly because I am hopeless.

He cries sincerely because I am shameless.

When I remember to think of God once, He blesses me.

When I remember to think of God twice, He caresses me.

When I remember to think of God thrice, He embraces me.

He blesses me, my life of aspiration.

He caresses me, my life of realisation.

He embraces me, my life of manifestation.
