Existential Weariness and Dismissal from Worldly Affairs in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 23, Poem 27)

This concept analyzes Chapter 23, Poem 27 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, focusing on the themes of spiritual exhaustion and detachment. The poet expresses a deep weariness with the 'ocean of vanity'—representing the illusions of the material world—and his own soul. By stating he has been 'dismissed from the affairs of both worlds,' he emphasizes a state of absolute detachment, questioning the purpose of maintaining a false facade of worldly engagement.
