Perfect longings for God consists of contemplation, solitude- to accomplish stillness of the mind, tears of devotion that pour out because of one's humility, a reverence of God's power that penetrates the unclean soul, and sufferings of willingness. This humbles the soul. A human being must give regard to its inadequacies everyday. By devoting contemplation of spiritual matters in private draws one nearer to God. God than reveals spiritual truths to the devote seeker.
