Self-Annihilation and the Qalandari Path in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 44, Poem 18)

This concept explores the themes of spiritual liberation and self-annihilation in Chapter 44, Poem 18 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh. The poet suggests that to easily break free from the ego ('release from yourself') and the dualities of 'good and evil of both worlds,' one must embrace the way of the Qalandar—a figure symbolizing radical detachment, authenticity, and the transcendence of worldly and religious conventions.
