In Chapter 16, Poem 4 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar criticizes the ego-driven behaviors of displaying one's own skills and denying or backbiting others. The poem suggests that superficial social engagement often leads to negativity and arrogance. Instead, Attar advocates for solitude as a means to avoid these spiritual pitfalls, emphasizing that isolating oneself from harmful interactions yields significant spiritual profit and protects the seeker's inner state.
