In Chapter 41, Poem 9 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the mystical value of divine sorrow (anduh). The speaker elevates passion and sorrow for the Beloved to the status of essential resources for the spiritual journey, likening them to the 'support of an army' and 'provisions for the path' (tousheh-ye rah). Rather than avoiding grief, the mystic embraces it constantly, recognizing that the spiritual affair itself begins and is sustained 'through the door of sorrow.'
