The Allegory of Sheikh Gorgani and the Young Nizam al-Mulk in Mosibat Nameh

This concept explores the allegory from Attar's Mosibat Nameh where Sheikh Gorgani encounters the young Nizam al-Mulk playing polo. The Sheikh recognizes the boy's exceptional respect and inherent greatness, advising him that his destiny has already won the ball. It serves as a parable for destiny, the spiritual insight needed to recognize worldly potential, and the early manifestation of leadership and greatness.
