In Chapter 34, Poem 10 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the Divine addresses the seeker, instructing them to abandon the pursuit of honor and instead embrace lowliness. The poem introduces the profound metaphor of the seeker as a mere "shadow" of the Divine. By accepting this dependent, shadow-like existence, the seeker is urged to find contentment and cease their restless pursuit, realizing that true intimacy arises from submitting to one's inherently humble state rather than striving for exaltation.
