Servitude, Self-Knowledge, and the Divine Vision in Mosibat Nameh Section 12

In this section of Attar's Mosibat Nameh, a wise man describes his ultimate desire in the grave: to be fully absorbed in the vision of the Divine Truth until the Day of Resurrection, remaining completely oblivious to the material world. The narrative asserts that achieving this spiritual state requires complete servitude (bandegi), which is perfected through self-knowledge (khod-shenasi) and spiritual etiquette (adab). This highlights the Sufi principle that spiritual ascension and connection to the Divine are rooted in self-awareness and humble devotion.
