The mind is definitely stronger than the body. The mind is a very powerful thing, it controls your emotions, reactions, and it attracts negative or positive things to your life, depending on your attitude towards life, If you're a positive person, positive things are more than likely to happen to you.
Body, mind and soul are all inter-related: the body is made up of matter; the mind is part brain (visible) and part invisible because it's your thinking process, your thoughts, your feelings, and so includes your deepest 'heart' aspects; the soul is that which makes you an individual, the 'I' part, who you are or consider yourself to be.
