self-centeredness. It is the root of fallen nature

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.

P. 1519, par. 2
Remark

On the one hand, it is expressed that mind-body unity cannot be achieved without the power of love. On the other hand, it becomes clear what devotion to others lies in true love and the original mind. Finally, a reference to fallen nature.
