In Poem 31 of Chapter 32 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the overwhelming and consuming nature of divine love. The 'fire of love' serves a dual purpose: it blinds the lover to the 'good and bad' of the material world, emphasizing complete worldly detachment, and it acts as an active force of suffering ('Your pain killed me, and Your love burned me'). This reflects the Sufi concept that true spiritual love requires the annihilation of the ego and complete absorption in the Beloved, despite the intense spiritual pain it entails.
