The minds and bodies of human beings are fighting incessantly. When they fight, the body is usually the winner and the loser is the mind. We have to understand how to reverse this state of affairs. Who is able to make the mind the victor and unify mind and body, standing in the position of absolute goodness, and not controlled by others? It is miserable that throughout our entire life we are unable to reach such a position. Furthermore, the same type of people who are living today may also be living in the future. Thinking about this, we must bury the past and become a person of absolute goodness who has committed no evil in our entire life. This is the ultimate hope of all human beings. Where is there such a person? It's been impossible to find one. It is very difficult to find any person who succeeds in reversing all the evil consequences coming from human existence. Knowing this, we could find no one who has no evil but only goodness.

To control oneself is difficult because the mind wants to go in one direction and the body in another. There is a traditional Oriental proverb: The human mind changes from morning to night, but mountains never change, whether in ancient times or in the modern age. The problem is how to achieve unity, with an ever-changing mind. We would need to know how the greatest saints of history were able to dominate their bodies. Let us look at Jesus, Confucius, and Buddha. Our mind and body are always changing, but holy sons and daughters keep them unchanging. For example: what would happen with the mind of Jesus when he saw a woman? His mind might shake because he is a man, but Jesus wouldnOt take a step and his body would not fall down. However, ordinary people are different. Their hands and feet follow, they cannot control the desires of body and mind, and their body succumbs. No one can be better than Jesus. Jesus unified his mind and body; but we are different. When American men and women meet one another, they can kiss and enjoy each other at any time; but we must make love in the proper place. That is an example of fallen worldly people. If we seek a new ideal, then, as righteous people, we should start with mind and body unity. We can conclude that it is impossible to realize the ideal without unity of mind and body.

We must unite our mind and body centered on God's true love in our lifetime. Throughout your entire life, eating, thinking and acting should be centered on God's true love. But instead, your mind and body are enemies. Your mind and body took their root not from God's love but from Satan's love. The mind -body struggle begins there.

In God's ideal of creation, Cain was Abel's elder brother; but after the fall Abel stood in the position of God's elder son. When we indemnify their failure, we can establish the ideal of the Kingdom of Heaven. In the fallen world, the body dominates the mind. Therefore there is fighting at all times and in all places, and injustice and immorality continue, because the body does not submit to the mind in the fallen world.

Because mind and body confront each other within each individual, husband and wife, and consequently parents and children, and, moreover, different peoples and nations, fight each other. When mind and body will finally be united, then this fighting will come to an end. For this, we need to meet and engraft to True Parents. Mankind has to attend True Parents and be renewed by God's love. Otherwise we cannot stop this fighting, because we cannot control ourselves.
