In Chapter 8, Poem 22 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet advises the seeker to turn away from worldly pursuits (the "horizons") and direct their devotion toward the "dust of the lovers' alley." The quatrain emphasizes the inherent conflict between reason and spiritual love, asserting that to achieve true spiritual "profit," one must completely set aside the "capital of intellect and cleverness" (aql and ziraki), as rational calculation is an obstacle on the Sufi path of love.
