Just because the body and mind aren't real doesn't mean that they're bad. They can be used in order to assist others. Our situation has been said to be similar to a child having a nightmare in bed. The Father, or God, needs to wake the child up without causing further fear to the child. This is why the Holy Spirit never talks louder than the shrieking ego. Once we tune in to the Holy Spirit and finally wake up, we can assist as the Holy Spirit in the effort to wake up the rest of the universe. This is how our minds and bodies can be used effectively.
People like Jesus have become the awake Son of God, or Christ. All Christs have joined their will with that of the Holy Spirit. Their bodies and minds are like voices from outside of a dream. How they are perceived in the dream is not really who they are because of the distorted mind, but they can still cause the Son of God to awake.
Waking is very natural, so you don't have to do anything different on the physical level in order to attain God-realization. Our bodies do not have to be mortified or anything unnatural like that. However, our perceptions have to be changed for the better. Waking can only help you more, as it is our true Nature. Its even more Natural than nature, so it is completely applicable to our life-situation.
Once you strive for God-realization, your mind and body will be one with God. You won't have to worry about them anymore; God will use them in the most effective way possible. This isn't something to reach, because you are spirit. Spirit is unchangeable and way past the limitations of the mind and body. So, if you identify with spirit, then the mind and body will be directed in the right direction.
