This quatrain from the eighth chapter of Farid al-Din Attar's Mokhtar Nameh explores the necessity of absolute detachment from the self and the world. Attar posits that for the Divine Essence (Wujud-e Asl) to shine upon the seeker, one must perceive both the material and spiritual realms ('the two worlds') as total non-existence (adam). The poem instructs the traveler to view worldly joy as sorrow and worldly possession as a temporary illusion, emphasizing that true spiritual vision requires the effacement of all perceived dualities.
