In Chapter 20, Poem 19 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar asserts that genuine spiritual acceptance requires abandoning the ego and breaking free from the desire for societal approval. The poem highlights the exhausting nature of self-preoccupation ('Sometimes in charge and sometimes dismissed') and concludes that true success in the spiritual endeavor only comes when one is completely detached from and 'rejected by all the people.' This paradox underscores the Sufi principle that worldly alienation is often a prerequisite for divine intimacy.
