In this section of Farid al-Din Attar's Elahi Nameh, the father counters his son's ambition for worldly kingship (mulk). He argues that worldly dominion is inherently unstable, temporary, and inevitably tainted by injustice. Contrasting the 'poison of kingship' with the divine antidote, the father advises the son to seek a different, spiritual kingdom that requires the sacrifice of the self rather than exerting power over others.
