408. Religious disease and religious cure

Conversion is not a religion,
    But a religious disease.
Yoga is not a religion,
    But a religious cure.

Fear of God is not a religion,
    But a fatal disease.
Love of God is not a religion,
    But a normal life,
    A perfecting soul,
    A fulfilling Goal.
