Either Be a Believer Or Non-Believer, But Be a Good Person
*What Gods there were
I did not know then,
And was not concerned with them.
But I do know now,
HE can come to us in any form.
Attacked by the dragon, Cancer,
Threatening to take away
My one talent to speak.
I did not see HIM positively,
But I do feel him now,
HE came to me as a doctor,
And gave me many years,
To live and play with my grandkids.
I also got a message from HIM saying
“Drink water from your own cistern
running water from your own well”.
Urine Therapy – a recent treatment**
On deadly diseases like cancer.
Though a non-believer before
I lived life as a good person
If one can't love some one, but hurt none.
Maybe not of help to anyone, but never betraying
One may live a good life as a non-believer
Or one may live a good life as believer
Infinite gains are on both the sides.

New-York. It is also called in the ayurvedic tradition of yoga, drinking one's
urine is called amaroli. Because extensive Vedic texts exist from at least
2000 B.C., this practice provides us with much of the most thorough guidance
available. Yogic techniques tell us exactly how to go about drinking or applying
amaroli.
