In Chapter 22, Poem 12 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar explores the deceptive nature of the ego, described as a 'conceit' that gives rise to tyrannical 'Pharaohs' of arrogance within the self. The poem contrasts this inflated sense of self with the profound reality of human insignificance, likening the individual's existence to a mere dewdrop falling into the eternal ocean. This metaphor emphasizes that the tumult and uproar of worldly life are ultimately insignificant in the face of the vastness of divine reality.
