In Chapter 24, Poem 5 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar reflects on the fleeting nature of life and the inescapable reality of death. He advises the seeker to practice active spiritual detachment and self-purification by casting away all worldly attachments before physical death forcibly reduces the body to dust. This voluntary renunciation serves as a means of ensuring spiritual purity in the face of absolute destruction and the limited time granted to humanity.
