In this section of Farid al-Din Attar's Elahi Nameh, the father warns his son against the pursuit of a fleeting earthly kingdom out of negligence. He emphasizes the immense burden of ruling the world, questioning how one who cannot bear their own personal burden expects to carry the weight of humanity. The father further highlights the agony of death, arguing that if departing this world is difficult for an impoverished person, it is exponentially harder for a king burdened by power, sovereignty, and worldly attachments.
