In Farid al-Din Attar's 'The Conference of the Birds', the tale of the truth-seeking dervish serves as an allegory for the Sufi realization of divine agency in spiritual love. When an unseen voice rebukes the weeping dervish for presuming to love the Divine, the dervish recognizes his own inherent incapacity for such a profound state. He acknowledges that it is not he who initiated the connection, but rather the Divine who placed the overwhelming fire of love and yearning within his heart. This narrative illustrates that the spiritual pursuit, the intense passion, and the ensuing suffering are ultimately orchestrated by God's will, emphasizing the complete surrender and ultimate helplessness of the seeker before the Beloved.
