In this section of the Mosibat Nameh, Attar uses the parable of a milkman who dilutes milk with water, only for his cow to be swept away by a sudden flood, to illustrate the spiritual law of consequence and the futility of dishonest accumulation. The story serves as a prelude to a deeper reflection on mortality: Attar emphasizes that the contemplation of death is a powerful deterrent against committing injustice and oppression. Conversely, for the righteous seeker, death is not a source of dread but a joyful liberation, where the pure soul is finally released from the prison of the earthly body.
