In Chapter 19, Poem 3 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the foundational Sufi principles of Fana (annihilation of the ego) and Baqa (subsistence in the Divine). The seeker is urged to "die completely to whatever your heart lives by" to escape the self-inflicted afflictions of existence. This spiritual death is presented as the essential prerequisite to "come alive to a majesty beyond description," illustrating that one must relinquish worldly and egoic attachments to achieve eternal life in God's presence.
