Surrendering the Soul and Relinquishing the World in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 22, Poem 14)
In Chapter 22, Poem 14 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet emphasizes the absolute necessity of surrendering one's soul and worldly attachments. Addressing the true spiritual seeker, Attar points out the paradox and meaninglessness of mourning the loss of one's soul when the Divine demands it. True devotion on the spiritual path requires letting go of both the world and the self without hesitation, acknowledging that the soul ultimately belongs to the Beloved.
