3871. I am pleased only with my soul

```

I am not pleased with my mind

Because it speaks to God too much.

Unthinkably, it embarrasses me.

I am not pleased with my heart either,

Because it speaks to God too little.

It unwisely represents me.

I am pleased only with my soul

For it speaks to God

Not only soulfully but also judiciously,

And it does not use

Either one word more

Or one word less than necessary

When it converses with God.

```
