In this allegory from Attar's Mosibat Nameh, a madman consumes his food greedily while continuously offering thanks to God. He acknowledges a direct, unmediated exchange with the Divine: God sends sustenance from heaven, and the madman sends his gratitude back in return. The parable highlights a spiritual state where the seeker bypasses all worldly intermediaries, recognizing God as the absolute and direct provider of all sustenance.
