In Chapter 18, Poem 18 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the spiritual struggle of seeking the ultimate divine treasure while confined in the 'monastery of talismans' (دیر طلسمات), which symbolizes the deceptive and binding nature of the material world. The seeker endures suffering in this illusory realm, yearning for the infinite 'ocean' of divine reality. This ocean is described as so vast and transcendent that the two worlds (material and spiritual) have not tasted even a single drop of it. The poem culminates in the seeker's profound desire to attain self-realization by measuring the entirety of existence against their own soul in the presence of this infinite truth.
