In Chapter 19, Poem 15 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet warns against the spiritual dangers of seeking people's approval and indulging the ego's desires. The poem equates these tendencies with multiplicity and an 'idolatrous belt' (zunnar) within the soul. In Sufi terminology, a zunnar traditionally signifies the belt worn by non-Muslims (such as Zoroastrians or Christians), but Attar uses it metaphorically to represent the hidden idolatry (shirk) of self-worship and worldly attachment. By seeking social validation or satisfying personal whims, the seeker remains trapped in multiplicity and is prevented from realizing Divine Unity. True spiritual liberation requires severing these worldly ties and abandoning the ego's preferences.
