In Section 22 of Fariduddin Attar's Elahi Nameh, the tale of Abu Ali Farmadi explores the Sufi concept of spiritual equanimity and unconditional devotion. Farmadi advises the spiritual seeker not to rejoice over perceived acceptance by the Divine, nor to despair when feeling rejected or driven away. The narrative emphasizes that true devotion must be selfless, remaining independent of spiritual rewards, passing states, or divine favor. By transcending the dualities of acceptance and rejection, the seeker achieves a state of enduring spiritual stability and absolute surrender.
