Original mind

The teacher closest to you is your own, original mind. Your original mind is more valuable than your closest friend, indeed, even more valuable than your father or mother. You should ask your original mind for advice. God resides there. You should learn to listen to what your original mind tells you.  You must achieve this state. The Buddhist expression would be that you need to purify your inner nature. What Buddha meant with the words: "I am my own master in heaven as on earth," is that you will find that God, the Lord, dwells within you when you look into your own heart.

Your mind and body unite when you are truly 100 percent grateful. When this happens, those around you become happier. If you live your life with a heart of gratitude for the blessings heaven has given you, I think you will be able to create even more joy among those around you, and you will be able to spread these blessings to your family, society, nation and world.

My motto in life is 'How can I live today with more gratitude than yesterday?' I have tried to live a life in which I am more grateful today than I was yesterday, and in which I will be even more grateful tomorrow than I am today. It has been my life's goal to have gratitude in my heart every day. Right before True Father left for Danbury, he said, 'Please never complain. You should be grateful for the position you have been placed in, for when you become completely one through your gratitude, great miracles can take place.'

Unity of mind and body is impossible unless you practice love’s absolute values, where you give yourself for the sake of others completely. Please discard self-centeredness. It is the root of fallen nature.
