This concept examines the allegory in Section 11 of Farid al-Din Attar's Asrar Nameh, where a seeker asks Bayazid Bastami about the reality of the hidden and apparent universe. Bayazid answers that he encompasses everything because he has died to worldly existence. The narrative illustrates the Sufi themes of Fana (annihilation of the ego) and the idea that the human soul is a microcosm reflecting the entirety of the macrocosmic universe.
