In Chapter 17, Poem 11 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar advises the seeker to cultivate inner stillness by abandoning useless turmoil and clamor. He suggests that unless one possesses the vast, enduring capacity of a sea, it is necessary to quiet the restless mind and embrace peaceful submission.

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right; line-height: 2; margin-top: 0.5rem;">

<p>گر بحرنهای، ز جوش بنشین آخر<br />
بی مشغله و خروش بنشین آخر</p>
<p>گر نام و نشان خویش گویی برگو<br />
ور وقت آمد خوشی بنشین آخر</p>

## English translation
If you are not a sea, cease your turmoil at last,
Without preoccupation and clamor, sit down at last.
If you speak of your own name and trace, speak,
And if the time has come, sit down happily at last.
