This concept explains the allegory in Attar's Mosibat Nameh where a madman identifies 'bread' as the greatest name of the Divine. Drawing on his experience during a severe famine in Nishapur, the madman observes that extreme starvation led to the complete abandonment of religious practices, such as the call to prayer and attending mosques. Attar uses this narrative to convey a profound sociological and spiritual truth: the fulfillment of basic physical needs (sustenance) is the necessary foundation upon which religious devotion and societal order are built.
