Chapter 8 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh: On Madness and Selflessness

Chapter 8 of Farid al-Din Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, titled 'On Madness and Selflessness' (در جنون و بی‌خودی), contains quatrains exploring the paradoxical nature of spiritual madness and the necessity of ego-extinction (Fana). Attar argues that the rational intellect is a barrier to divine understanding and that the seeker must 'lose themselves' to find the ultimate truth.
