In Chapter 9, Poem 23 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet highlights the paralyzing nature of constant anxious questioning on the spiritual path. The recurring phrase "what should I do?" (چه کنم) symbolizes the soul's entrapment in overthinking and its reliance on seeking intellectual solutions to existential dilemmas. The poem concludes that recognizing the inherent uselessness of this anxiety is the necessary step toward escaping the cycle of bewilderment and moving toward spiritual surrender.
