1. The Purpose of Religion

Until now the balance in the fight between mind and body was about 1:8. The human body is invaded by the environment of the fallen world, but the mind follows only one way. People in this realistic world are concerned about results. Yet, in the process of trying to do evil, we feel anxiety. When we perform this evil, our gains all collapse. Our mind always tries to interfere with our body's actions, but finally is invaded by the body. Therefore the ratio is 1:8, since the mind is always being subdued by the body.

Why did God create religion? To give us grace. But to receive it is not free; we have to fulfill the condition of dedicating our lives more than even a king does. We receive God's grace as the result of establishing such a condition. If you have experienced a life of prayer, then you can understand this. Through prayer life you can receive the greatest energy. People with such a power can even see the spiritual world.

God desired for people to reach the realm of the substantial ideal and conducted the providence for that centered on the religious foundation. God stimulated our original mind to have a desire to attain this realm. God wanted to connect with people beyond the realistic realm. This is the main purpose of religion. Therefore the martyrs followed this way even if their legs were cut off. Even when their lives were finished they had this Osuper feelingO which goes beyond realistic feelings. In going this way, people must strengthen their power eight times more then anyone else. They attend God, gain strength, and then smite their bodies. The result of a fight depends on strength.

Religion denies one's worldly physical desires and one's desires as a social being. Thus pure religion denies all realistic things. Religion means to deny and repel eating, sleeping, sexual desires, and anything which you like. Originally, a human being should eat, sleep, and like things. However, those desires lead us to death, so we must reject them. Burst a nuclear bomb in your body! Break and completely subjugate your body. The body wants to be respected and to lead an easy, soft, smooth life. But we should despise all that the body likes. We should love what is difficult, hard and rough. The body likes a high position, caring about nobody else but itself. We have to destroy such a nature, and bring the body down, to be humble, serve and sacrifice.

People have needed religion throughout history, as it fulfills this purpose. We have to dominate the body through religion, because society, humankind, and all history failed owing to the physical body. The physical body is the enemy and the original root of evil. Smiting the body was the goal of religion until now; therefore Jesus smote his body through the 40-day fast. The body likes to be high and attract people's attention; however, religion teaches the opposite way: to obey and offer your life. Why? Not in order to smite our mind but to smite our body, and in so doing to connect to the worldwide level.
