In Chapter 10, Poem 20 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar explores the divine origin of the human soul and the critical necessity of a spiritual guide (hadi) for its salvation.

Key Concepts:

• The Perfection of Humanity: The cosmic spheres revolve continuously to allow a single individual to reach the state of a complete human being (mardom-e tamam).
• The Soul's Divine Origin: The soul is depicted as a pigeon that has flown from the Divine Throne (arsh), highlighting its celestial nature.
• The Role of the Guide: Lost in the physical world, the soul is prone to deviation and must find a spiritual guide (hadi) to navigate its return to the divine realm.
