In Chapter 18, Poem 1 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet outlines the prerequisites for the heart to become a confidant of divine secrets. First, one must achieve selflessness, stripping away the ego to become worthy of spiritual intimacy. Second, one must transcend 'both worlds' (the material world and the hereafter), signifying a complete detachment from all that is not God. Only by stepping into this transcendent state can the seeker perceive the ultimate truth.
