This concept explores the mystical theme of absolute submission to divine will presented in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, Chapter 16, Poem 18. Through the metaphors of quelling a turbulent sea and halting a swiftly moving ant, the poem illustrates the ultimate futility of human rebellion and self-directed striving. It advises the spiritual traveler that peace is found in voluntary surrender ('sitting down'), cautioning that if one refuses to relinquish their personal agency willingly, the overarching divine decree will ultimately enforce submission by force.
