In Chapter 8, Poem 33 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet highlights the necessity of abandoning self-will and resisting the desires of the carnal soul (nafs). By warning the spiritual seeker against asking, 'What am I going to do?', Attar criticizes the ego's tendency to constantly calculate, plan, and rely on its own agency. The poem advocates for a state of complete submission, instructing the individual not to act upon their own counsel, as true spiritual progress requires relinquishing personal autonomy and self-centered design.
