445. Three friends

```

My Lord, I have thousands of friends;

Of course, that includes You.

Now tell me, please,

How many friends do You have?

“Son, I have only three regular friends:

World-love is My one-half friend,

World-devotion is My one full friend,

World-surrender is My one-and-a-half friend.

“If I have not miscalculated,

Then I have three friends.

Son, this is, of course, excluding you.”
