Inner Composure and Equanimity Amidst Turmoil in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 19, Poem 21)
This concept explores the theme of maintaining inner peace and composure amidst external hardships, as presented in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 19, Poem 21). The poet advises the seeker to safeguard their spiritual state and time by remaining undisturbed and silent in the face of pain. Furthermore, Attar emphasizes that even if both worlds are in extreme turmoil, akin to a boiling ocean, the seeker must not compromise or trade their inner composure (jam'iyyat) for anything in either world. This highlights the Sufi principle of prioritizing internal stillness, gatheredness, and detachment over external chaos.
