In Chapter 23, Poem 26 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Farid al-Din Attar explores the profound tension between spiritual transcendence and physical embodiment. The poet describes a state where the soul has already traversed beyond both the earthly and heavenly worlds. Having achieved this level of spiritual release, the physical body is experienced as an immense burden and restriction—described as the heaviness of the body. The poem depicts the physical self as extremely weak and exhausted, falling repeatedly. Consequently, maintaining the physical form is viewed as a false pretense, as the true spiritual self has already detached from material reality and longs for complete liberation from the constraints of physical existence.
