Detachment from Worldly Gains and Losses in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 22, Poem 26)
In Chapter 22, Poem 26 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet reflects on the pervasive sorrow, anxiety, and frustration of worldly life. He resolves this existential burden through complete detachment from the 'gain and loss of this world of dust'. By advising to imagine that the world simply does not exist (انگار که نیست), Attar underscores the ephemeral and illusory nature of worldly attachments, proposing that true relief comes from dismissing the material world as nothing more than a passing wind in one's head.
