Looking at God, does He also have mind and body? What do you think? Does God have mind and body? God must have both too, because He resembles us, and He must have even more than what we have. Because God must possess the more complete model, He must have mind and body.

If God has mind and body, would His mind and body be fighting? Do they fight day and night? Do they fight, or make unity and get along with and like, each other? What do you think? If God has mind and body, they ought to fight. Why? Because God resembles us. If I come to such a conclusion, that God's mind and body must fight because God resembles you and me, how do you feel? Why are you laughing? Are you laughing because you feel good or do you feel bad? Maybe you laugh because it is strange. You are laughing because it sounds strange!

Of course God resembles us. But what is the difference between God and human beings? God has mind and body, but they never fight each other; they make perfect unity. They are one. If it were not so, God would have created one world which appeals to His mind, and also one world which His body likes. It would mean that God created a world of two purposes. Therefore, such a God could not be absolute.

Accordingly, within God, His mind and body never fight with each other. If we understand God as the One in whom mind and body are united, the One with a unified view of purpose consisting of dual characteristics harmonizing the purpose of the body and the purpose of the mind, then the Creation which God would desire and would approve, must resemble Him. (70-47)

If God created man as a being with two contradictory purposes, such a God would not be logical. Just as there is no being throughout all the created world existing without a purpose, likewise nothing can exist with two purposes. Something that has two purposes cannot exist, and will be destroyed. (18-319)

It is clear that we are existing beings. As long as you speak of existence, you cannot avoid speaking of relationships. There must be a vertical subject and a horizontal object in the relationship of subject and object. Then the ideal can be realized. You must understand this clearly.

In today's world, we can expect happiness and the ideal only after we realize a better resultant being. What is that resultant being? The individual is a resultant being, also the family, the society, and the nation are all resultant beings. The world pursued by these resultant beings cannot be two worlds; that world must be one.

If there is a subject who pursues two worlds, he ought to have two heads. Such a subject can never be an absolute being. If the causal being expects two results, he cannot be the Absolute One. OAbsoluteO means "only one." The perfect origin cannot be two: only one. Therefore the world of result originating from one origin must be one. That is an inevitable conclusion which no one can deny. (59-79)

Are you one or two? Two individuals or one individual? [One!] That is a lie, a lie! Your mind asks you to go this way, but your body says, OOh! I don't want to; let's go another way!" It looks like one shape, but has two contents.

Then who made it like this? If the absolute God did it in play, this must be a crazy God! DonOt you agree? If God did that, such a God doesnOt exist. That is the unsolved question up until the present, leading to all kinds of complicated thought, including the so-called dualism. Am I right?

If there is a man who goes toward the east with a God-centered intention, then he should do so in order to accomplish one absolute purpose, and if there is a man who goes west, it must be for the accomplishment of one absolute purpose.

Reflecting upon ourselves, we have a physical self and a spiritual self opposed to each other like east and west. (47-22)

Due to the fall of the human ancestors, human beings are in a midway position. Because of that, each of us can become a good person, and we can also become an evil person. In taking one step to the right side, we can become a good person, but in taking one step to the left, we can become an evil person. Accordingly, we should know that each one of us receives dominion from by two masters with opposing purposes.

When you reflect upon yourself, you realize that you have not become a person who can take free action in accordance with the desire of the mind. At the beginning of the year, we each pledge by our own will that we will accomplish a certain goal, yet we do not accomplish what we pledged, but rather something which we did not intend. We often see such results in our daily life. So, when we look back upon our life after one year passes, for the most part we feel that there were many regretful moments during the course of the year.

Why is this? Why are we not going the way we want, but instead the way we do not want? Because there is a stronger power leading us in the direction we don't want, than the power leading us in the direction of our true desires. You must know that, in fact, you are situated in a midway position, that is, a position between good and evil. That is why we are dominated by goodness and at the same time by evil. So we have to know that these two boundary lines are connected centering upon myself.

One thing which you must always keep in mind is that, because absolute God created man, a human being should pursue one purpose perfectly. The purpose of absolute God cannot be two. If absolute God created all things, He should create all things to harmonize centering on the purpose of the universe. Therefore, the purpose of existence cannot be two, but only one. (41-58)
