In Chapter 6, Poem 13 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the mystical themes of self-sacrifice and the annihilation of the ego. The opening line's imagery of 'girding the loins' signifies resolute preparation for the spiritual path, which demands the painful shedding of worldly attachments ('heart's blood'). A central theme is the rejection of the 'illusion of existence' (پندار وجود), which acts as a veil separating the seeker from the Divine. By discarding this illusion, the seeker falls into an 'infinite valley' (وادی بینهایتی), symbolizing the boundless, incomprehensible nature of God and the state of Fana (annihilation). The speaker dismisses the reproach of others, as societal judgment loses all meaning once one has entered this infinite reality.
