In Poem 79 of Chapter 6 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar uses the polo ball metaphor to represent complete selflessness and surrender to the divine will. By achieving a state of existence transcending time and space, the mystic realizes placelessness (la-makan), rendering any specific physical location unnecessary.

<p>پیوسته حریف جان فزایم باید<br />
چون گوی ز خود بیسر و پایم باید</p>
<p>چون من همه وقتی همه جایی باشم<br />
ممکن نبود که هیچ جایم باید</p>

## English translation
I must always have a soul-refreshing companion,
Like a polo ball, I must be selfless, without head or foot.
Since I exist at all times and in all places,
It is not possible that I should require any specific place.
