In Attar's 'Conference of the Birds', the poem 'The Dialogue of Socrates with His Disciple at the Moment of Death' illustrates the Sufi concept of profound detachment from the physical form. When asked by his disciple where he wishes to be buried, Socrates replies that they can bury him wherever they like, provided they can actually 'find' him. He explains that having never truly comprehended or found his own essence while alive, it is impossible for others to find him once he is dead. This narrative serves to devalue the physical body and its posthumous treatment, emphasizing that true identity transcends physical existence and earthly remains.
