In Section 3 of Attar's Mosibat Nameh, the story of a King attempting to cure Majnun's obsession with Layla by presenting him with other beautiful women serves as an allegory for the true lover's singular devotion. The King represents worldly authority and pragmatic reason, attempting to alleviate the 'problem' of passionate love through rational substitution and the allure of worldly forms. However, Majnun's steadfast refusal to even look at the other beauties demonstrates that true, divine love (represented by his love for Layla) is exclusive and cannot be distracted by the multiplicity of superficial worldly beauty. This parable illustrates the Sufi concept of singular devotion, where the lover’s heart is so completely occupied by the one Beloved that no other object can enter or offer consolation.
