In Chapter 22, Poem 31 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet illustrates the grueling yet essential path of spiritual endurance and radical humility. By advising the seeker to 'be upon the fire' daily and serve as the 'dust beneath the feet of the rebellious people,' Attar highlights the necessity of absolute ego dissolution. The striking imagery of rolling up a 'morsel from your liver' and dipping it in blood while remaining 'joyful' symbolizes the advanced Sufi ideal of embracing deep emotional and spiritual anguish with genuine contentment and joy.
