In Farid al-Din Attar's Mosibat Nameh, the tale of the mystic (kamil) passing by a Zoroastrian fire temple serves as an allegory for the consuming nature of divine love and spiritual annihilation (fana). Upon witnessing the fire, the mystic faints; when he recovers, he explains that the fire spoke to him, declaring that it is so completely absorbed in its own burning that it remains indifferent to the heedless material world. The narrative emphasizes that a true seeker must burn like fire, eradicate their ego, and become entirely traceless (bi-neshan) in the beloved to achieve eternal subsistence (baqa).
