2014 Reprint of 1961 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software.
"Interior Castle" is one of the most celebrated books on mystical
theology available. It is the most sublime and mature of Teresa of
Avila's works and expresses the full flowering of her deep
experience in guiding souls toward spiritual enlightenment. In
addition to its profound content, it is a treasury of important
maxims on such ascetic subjects as self-knowledge, humility,
detachment and suffering. But above all, this account of a soul's
progress in virtue and grace is the record of a life-of the
interior life of St. Teresa of Avila, whose soul, mind and
temperament hold so deep an attraction for the modern mind. In its
central image, Teresa describes the soul "as a castle made of a
single diamond in which there are many rooms, just as in Heaven
there are many mansions. She describes the various mansions of the
castle, the degrees of purgation and strife, through which the soul
must pass in its quest for perfection before reaching the innermost
chambers, the place of complete transfiguration and communion with
God.
