In Chapter 6, Poem 14 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the Sufi concept of dying to the worldly self before physical death. By abandoning rational calculation and embracing mystical 'drunkenness' (masti) and selflessness (bikhudi), the seeker successfully navigates a perilous spiritual path. This contrasts with the 'sober' ones (those who rely solely on intellect and ego), who are consumed or blocked by the path's trials, emphasizing that true spiritual triumph requires the total surrender of the ego.
