Rejection of Societal Norms and Conventional Piety in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 15, Poem 22)
This concept explores the antinomian and Malamati themes in Chapter 15, Poem 22 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh. The poem expresses a profound disdain for conventional religious practices (a commoner's repentance) and societal judgments (rejection and acceptance by the people). By declaring that such customs and even Paradise itself are worth less than a blade of grass, the speaker emphasizes a mystical devotion that transcends worldly norms, superficial piety, and the approval of the masses.
