God, the subject partner, has surely given humankind the foundation to respond to Him as His object partner. Therefore, contained within that foundation of the horizontal mind there must be a standard for the mind to be perpendicularly oriented in a direction toward the vertical. That direction surely exists.
Furthermore, since Buddhism teaches that all Dharma is constantly changing, while the truth is found in the "Suchness" (眞如) behind the Dharma, we can say that "Suchness" in Buddhism represents the absolute essence. (122-300, 25.11.1982)
Even a person like Buddha said, when he was in an mystic state: "In heaven and on earth, I am my own master." When someone who has trained themselves to achieve unity in their mind enters the Spiritual World and stands as a perfect object partner before God, they can say that they are their own master in heaven and on earth.
Wenn ihr den Zustand der Einheit zwischen eurem Gemüt und eurem Körper erreicht, dann ist es das Gleiche wie das, was der Buddha erfahren hat. Es ist der Zustand, in dem ihr empfinden könnt: „Im Himmel und auf Erden bin ich der Einzige, der geehrt wird.“ Wenn ihr euch im Zentrum der Dinge befindet, dann kann jegliche Form der Energie im Bereich der Liebe nicht in Aktion treten, ohne durch dieses Zentrum zu passieren.
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.
The teacher who is closest to you is your own, original mind. Your original mind is more valuable than your closest friend, yes, even more valuable than your father or mother. You should learn to listen to what your original mind tells you. This is the state you must achieve.
You should take your time to experience joy with your mind. For others, it may seem like you are all alone; but during this time you should befriend your mind. Sit down with your mind in a quiet place and meditate. Then you will be put into a deep state of prayer. In this way, you will enter a world that no one but you knows. You need such experiences.
The human beings, as they were originally created, were supposed to live with God's true love in their mind and body and thus respond directly to God's love.
What is the relationship between mind and body? There is a partnership between subject and object. They should both exist for the good of their partner. The mind lives for the body and the body for the mind. When they unite, you have not five but ten sense organs. You can then see the heavenly spiritual world and understand it. Everyone will hear the music that comes from heaven.

Can the absolute God be sad? Can the all-knowing and all-powerful God avoid sadness? Can He understand sorrow? These are serious questions that I cannot take lightly. We cannot maintain the belief that the absolute God can be the Father of humanity and yet never experience sorrow. Here, there would be a logical contradiction, as this would fundamentally distance God, the Father, from His children who possess intellect, feeling, and will, and who experience feelings of joy, anger, suffering, and pleasure.
