In Chapter 13, Poem 21 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the profound connection between divine love and the annihilation of the self (fana). The verse emphasizes that when the spiritual seeker becomes entirely consumed by divine love, it results in the immediate 'annihilation' (هلاک) of their individual ego. This illustrates the core Sufi principle that true spiritual realization and union with the divine necessitate the complete obliteration of the personal self.
