In this allegory from Attar's Mosibat Nameh, Rabia al-Adawiyya retreats into a dark room during spring. When an ascetic urges her to step outside to observe the beautiful and colorful creation (son') of God, Rabia invites him inside to witness the Creator (sane') instead. This story highlights a key Sufi concept: the spiritual priority of direct, inner contemplation of the Divine Creator over the outward observation of the material creation.
