When mind and body have the same power they fight. Is it possible for kindergarten children to fight the world champion? No, it is impossible. There is a big gap between them. So, the second way to dominate the body is to make the mind stronger. There are only two ways to dominate the body. To make the mind stronger we need various conditions and dedication of heart. When we dedicate our whole energy, the door to the mind opens up. When this door is open we can gain immense power. Then you have no problem with your body. You probably do not realize that. If your mind's power is strengthened three times over, then you will have no problem to dominate the body. You must consolidate the mind's power and lead your body. That is how many conditions have been made in religious life. Probably you have heard the expression, "you should attain spiritual enlightenment." If you attain spiritual enlightenment, you can gain great power in your mind. Then, if you follow your body's desires, you will feel sick. Even thinking about it makes you feel bad. A person who has attained spiritual enlightenment has strong power of the mind, and so his body follows the mind's desires automatically. Only in these two ways can the body be dominated. We must understand this clearly.

This has been God's strategy to achieve domination of the body. This has been a fundamental religious teaching right up to the present day. The Unification Church follows the same principle. This is an advanced stage in the way of life of a human being. In other words, this is to enter the position of God's son or daughter, centered on God's true love. When we reach this position, we can receive the unique love of God. That is why Buddha said, "Only I myself exist in Heaven and on Earth."

This means that nobody can equal his authority. When one reaches this glorious position, one can admire one's own value. In other words one can become the person directly receiving God's love. Such a person can inherit anything and everything which connects to God's creation. Therefore such a person can say about oneself how precious he or she is. The way of attaining this position is the original way the human being would go, to live in the realm of God's love.
