Ascent of Mount Carmel by St. John of the Cross is a systematic mystical treatise outlining the path of the soul's ascent to God through the active and passive purifications of the senses and the spirit. St. John draws on scripture and deep contemplative experience to map the stages of spiritual growth with extraordinary precision and depth. Together with Dark Night of the Soul, this work forms the cornerstone of Carmelite mysticism and one of the greatest guides to the contemplative life in any tradition.

One attains Perfect Knowledge when one sees God in man.

We can attain peace of mind only by following what Gurbani teaches.

God told Prophet David, 'The servant dearest to Me is one who doesn't seek Me out of fear or hope for reward, but to fulfill their duty to My divinity.'

Guru Nanak Dev says that these practices are useless, as they only help cleanse the mind, and unless His grace is upon you, you cannot reach Him.
