In Chapter 23, Poem 70 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the profound themes of complete spiritual and physical collapse. The poem depicts a state where the body is devastated by pain and the soul is overwhelmed by deep regret. The concluding lines emphasize a total loss of agency and self-possession—collapsing in the blink of an eye and losing a heart that was never truly in one's control. This reflects the mystic's realization of absolute helplessness and the illusory nature of personal volition on the spiritual path.
