In this tale from Attar's Mosibat Nameh, Abu Sa'id of Mehne experiences a severe state of spiritual contraction (qabz) and seeks conversation for relief. His servant brings a Zoroastrian, who highlights the tragic irony of losing a son named 'Javidan' (Eternal). The narrative serves as an allegory for the illusion of worldly permanence and explores how unexpected encounters and poignant truths can resolve a mystic's spiritual stagnation.
