In Chapter 13, Poem 30 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet intertwines the metaphors of the Beloved's tress (symbolizing the captivating and bewildering pull of divine love) and the fountain of Khidr (representing eternal spiritual life and esoteric knowledge). Attar asserts that without being entangled in divine love, one cannot attain true spiritual vitality. Consequently, any worldly awareness or intellectual 'wakefulness' lacking this profound spiritual connection is exposed as nothing more than spiritual sleep or illusion.
