Logically speaking, wherever there is love, whether you go up or, go down or stay in the middle you feel good. Do you hate your loving husband for being in a position higher than you? Do you hate your beloved wife because she is better than you? The two are one. Once you become one, you can freely go wherever you want. You can come up from below, come down from above, or stay in the middle. There are no obstacles. Isn't that so? [Yes!]

Many people say, OThis world must become one unified world, the world of peace." So shall we make unity by force? Or by power of organization? Nowadays there is a form of unity termed an Oorganic collectiveO. So shall we establish unity by that power? Shall we try to make unity by means of a certain philosophy? Maybe these could help somewhat to bring about a partial unity, but it cannot be absolute in the sense that both mind and body welcome it according to their original nature and feel that there is nothing else but this. Mind and body will never say of partial unity, "I like this! This is what I want! I can live in this realm and attend this as the eternal standard of the ideal." Neither money, nor knowledge, nor anything else can bring about this kind of unity.

Then what is the source of unity? What is it that can intoxicate everybody regardless of position or rank, yellow, white, or black? It is love. You must know that this is the final conclusion: that there is nothing but true love that is capable of making unity. Is that true? [Yes!] How can mind and body get along with one another and become one, being genuinely fond of each other? Would mind and body like each other on account of money? They could not continue to get along with one another for all of eternity.

So, this is the conclusion. Only through true love can all our five senses be concentrated and united into one, laughing and dancing together. Who can deny this? Therefore, we again reach the conclusion that nothing but true love is able to unite the spirit self and physical self--the mind and body--and bring about mutual prosperity. (91- 141)

The question is, when will mind and body be united within myself? We can do that neither by money, nor by power, nor by knowledge, nor by thought. Absolutely not. Then with what can we achieve that? It is only possible through God's love. In conclusion, the Almighty God's Love must be capable of uniting mind and body. (94-267)

Originally the spiritual self and physical self were supposed to be united centering on true love, not centering on false love. Therefore, unless we find the origin of true love, they will by no means be united. That is very logical. You must go over that place, and keep going further, with the desire for God's blessing. (91-184)

Originally, God's love was always to enter the mind and body of the human being, bringing about a state without any conflict, contradiction, or struggle. However, the human being was separated from God and established a self-centered relationship of false love, thereby bringing about struggle and contradiction between mind and body. Thus, a history came about in which love centered on the external body has betrayed God's love, the ideal, and the eternal origin of life centered upon the mind. Therefore we have to eradicate this external love, that is, the love of Satan, and instead, in its place, inherit the original internal love--God's love--and establish unity between mind and body. From that point, unification will begin. (97-179)

Probably you know that the power of love is not exploding because of the fact that there is no unity between mind and body. That is the result of the Fall. If human beings had not fallen, there is no way that mind and body would be unable to unite. Therefore, how to overcome this very substantial and extremely contradictory situation must be a question of utmost importance. That is the problem. By what means shall we overcome it? By the power of love! We can do that only by the power of love (1981.6.6.)

The providence for salvation began due to the Fall. What was our original desire? We yearned for love. That love is true love. What is true love? If you connect to true love, all your five senses--eyes, ears, nose, mouth and skin--can laugh together and feel together in unison.

Well, if our body can laugh and feel with all five senses, then how about our mind? How would the mind be connected to true love? If you could see the mind, would this mind just be huddled in the corner, while the body was doing like this? [No!] What would it be doing? Have you any idea? How do you think? Everything comes together into oneness at that point. Thinking theoretically about from what point the unity of all our action begins, it is logical to suppose that it starts from true love. If it were not so, then there would be no foundation to realize God's ideal or the unity for which all human beings long.
