In this allegory from Attar's Asrar Nameh, the renowned Sufi mystic Bayazid Bastami recounts his spiritual ascension to the Divine Throne. When asked about the most wondrous phenomenon in the vast ocean of divine reality, Bayazid states that the true wonder is for anyone to retain a trace of their individual self within that limitless sea. This narrative illustrates the central Sufi concept of 'Fana' (annihilation of the self in God), emphasizing that true spiritual realization leaves no room for individual existence or ego in the presence of the Divine.
