In this section of Attar's Mosibat Nameh, Abu Sa'id Abul-Khayr explains the profound difference between a disciple trained by a human master and a mystic established by God. When a mother complains that her son has become frail and weak under the Sheikh's guidance, Abu Sa'id responds that while a Sufi 'seated' by him will reflect his own human limitations and struggles, a Sufi 'seated' by the Creator possesses the divine strength and utility seen in Abu Sa'id himself. This allegory emphasizes that true spiritual transformation and 'liberation from self' (be-khwishi) are ultimately divine acts, not merely the result of human instruction.
