In Chapter 22, Poem 24 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet employs the metaphor of a silkworm spinning a cocoon to illustrate the futility of worldly accumulation and attachments. The poem asserts that worldly existence is fundamentally an illusion, and human greed (the desire for 'more') is a misguided assessment of reality. Just as the silkworm weaves a trap for itself which it must ultimately abandon, humans entangle themselves in material pursuits that will inevitably be left behind, highlighting the necessity of spiritual detachment.
