In Chapter 31, Poem 13 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet uses the metaphors of an ant (مور) and a lame fly (مگس لنگ) to illustrate the profound limitations of the human seeker in the face of spiritual immensity. By contrasting the ant with an elephant and the lowly fly with the archangel Gabriel, Attar emphasizes the impossibility of the limited human heart comprehending or rivaling the divine guide's magnitude.
