'Through 'submission' to God's will, the lover realizes 'contentment'
with God regardless of his circumstances. 'Absence from himself
and the word prepare him for 'presence' with God. The sweetness
of 'intimacy' with God's beauty is contrasted with 'awe'
of Divine majesty.
Mystics who approach inner certainty in God enjoy 'tranquility'
and 'serenity'. Gradually, the trials of traveling through
'fluctuations' or constant changes of state temper the wayfarer's
heart until it reaches 'stability' in perfection.
