In Chapter 20, Poem 26 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar criticizes the state of spiritual indecision and complacency. He describes a seeker who is neither firmly rooted in faith (affirmation) nor completely detached in denial. Attar warns the 'short-sighted' individual against treating the spiritual journey as a trivial or superficial matter, emphasizing that the path is actually a long and arduous undertaking that requires profound commitment and seriousness.
