In Poem 8, Chapter 34 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the mystical concept of Fana (annihilation of the self) is presented as the absolute prerequisite for achieving divine intimacy. The poem contrasts the Divine as the radiant sun with the seeker as a mere shadow. It emphasizes that a shadow cannot coexist with the direct light of the sun; thus, the seeker must be entirely annihilated or eradicated of their separate ego to become a true companion (Mahram) of the Divine.
