I'm gonna go with the mind here, but of course both are extremely important.
If this interests you, I strongly recommend a book called "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"*, a true story by a guy who had a cerebral accident, became completely paralyzed, and dictated the book by blinking it out letter-by-letter to his secretary.
* << La scaphandre et la papillon >> in its original French, if you read that. It's by Jean Dominique Bauby.
Alternative response: Could I be Master of my own mind, and Lord of your body? I'd think that'd be the best option.

Mastering my mind will lead to being the lord of my body.

I would prefer to be the master of my own mind and if i can b that i can also be the lord of my own body.It can never b the other way round because every important transformation in my life would be from the inside out--not outside in.

I want both but if i have to choose then it would be master of the mind. As if you can master the mind then you can stop yourself eating that extra cake, and your body won't be in need to have sex all the time. All those feelings that affect your body, Hate, love,urges,depression,hunger, gluttony all feelings affect your body in one way or another.

None of the above because I am neither. I am so glad that the one true God is my Master. He has infinite wisdom and loves me. My heavenly Father takes care of me, my body and mind have been surrendered to Him. Praise the LORD!!

Master of ones own mind. There are many people who don't have perfect bodies that still exude peace and confidence in themselves.
