Pain as the True Remedy and Provision in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 43, Poem 2)

In Chapter 43, Poem 2 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar explores the paradoxical nature of spiritual love, teaching that complete self-sacrifice—giving one's soul—is the way to attain true spiritual vitality. He advises the seeker to cherish the pain experienced on the divine path, asserting that this very suffering is not a condition to be cured, but is itself the ultimate remedy and provision for the destitute lover.
