In Farid al-Din Attar's The Conference of the Birds, the narrative of Bayazid's bewilderment illustrates the Sufi concept of Divine Independence (Estighna) and Exclusivity. The poem teaches that the Divine Court is infinitely self-sufficient and majestic, meaning that access is a rare privilege granted by divine grace, and the heedless are kept away. This concept serves as a prerequisite for understanding the subsequent challenges of the spiritual journey, particularly the Valley of Independence (Wadi-ye Estighna).
