In Poem 48 of Chapter 6 of Mokhtar Nameh, Farid al-Din Attar explores the mystical state of relentless spiritual seeking (Talab). The seeker expresses constant wonder at their own ever-increasing yearning, suggesting that the spiritual path is an infinite progression rather than a finite destination. The metaphor of digging a canal in the heart by day and drawing water by night symbolizes the continuous, arduous inner cultivation and self-purification required on the Sufi path. This imagery highlights the unending labor of love and devotion that consumes the mystic's entire existence.
