Summary/Abstract: The spiritual life has its own principles. Saints Kallistos and Ignatius composed this book based on the teaching of the Holy Fathers in order to be a guide for those who live in ascesis on the path of the consummation. Kallistos and Ignatius present the method and the ascetic toils which the mind is united with the heart in, the man removes his passions and he impropriates the virtues, he achieves the dispassion, and the love, and the sight of the godlike light. This book presents the work of the Holy Ghost within the soul of the man, but also the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ Who leads the man towards the union with God and towards the man’s own consummation.
