In Chapter 41, Poem 36 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the transformative and demanding nature of divine sorrow or the grief of love. This sorrow acts as a commanding force, compelling the lover to completely detach from both the material world and their own life force. By metaphorically placing their foot on top of both the world and the soul, the lover demonstrates absolute renunciation, illustrating that true devotion to the beloved requires the sacrifice of all worldly and personal attachments.
