In Poem 19 of Chapter 34 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar utilizes the metaphor of commerce to articulate the requirements of the spiritual path. The Divine Visitor instructs the seeker to abandon all personal "profit" and "capital," which symbolize worldly attachments, self-reliance, and egoic desires. To "do business" with the Divine, the seeker must embrace absolute spiritual poverty and accept the "pain" of devotion. This illustrates the Sufi concept that true faithfulness requires stripping away all self-interest to rely entirely on Divine grace.
