In Chapter 32, Poem 43 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet describes the mystical experience of being subjected to constant spiritual agitation by the Divine. The imagery of moving through rapid ascents and descents represents the alternating spiritual states (ahwal) imposed by the Beloved. This continuous disruption serves a specific mystical purpose: by keeping the lover in perpetual flux (a 'new state' at 'every moment'), the Divine prevents the lover from resting in their own ego or returning to self-consciousness ('Do not let me return to myself'). This highlights the mystical necessity of losing self-possession and remaining entirely subjected to the divine will.
