In Chapter 13, Poem 14 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet critiques humanity's false sense of ownership and limited spiritual perception. Attar asserts that despite feeling enriched by worldly gains, an individual possesses merely an insignificant fraction (a 'barleycorn') of the universe's true wealth. The poem highlights that those who rely on superficial understanding lack 'true vision' (عیان), meaning they are unable to perceive ultimate reality. Consequently, whatever they experience or claim to possess is only a mere reflection or shadow of existence, rather than the divine truth itself.
