In Section 12 of Farid al-Din Attar's Mosibat Nameh, the poet presents an allegory where a spiritual seeker asks Sheikh Gorgani why he does not participate in Sama' (spiritual music and dance). The Sheikh explains that his heart is filled with a constant, overwhelming inner mourner. He asserts that if this deep spiritual sorrow were to be revealed, the entire universe would fall into mourning or be destroyed. This parable illustrates that for a seeker experiencing the highest degrees of spiritual pain and inward grief, outward practices like Sama' and dancing are insufficient and inappropriate remedies, and only silent endurance until death can suffice.
