In the Tenth Discourse of Farid al-Din Attar's Elahi Nameh, the narrative explores the spiritual pitfall of worldly ambition when a son defends the pursuit of status and rank (جاه, 'jah'), arguing that it is desired even by the great. The discourse counters this ego-driven attachment by invoking the prophetic examples of Joseph and Jesus. It illustrates that Joseph's rise from the bottom of a well to a throne and Jesus's ascension to the heavens were acts of divine providence, not the result of chasing worldly prestige. This passage serves to caution the spiritual seeker against confusing true, divinely ordained elevation with the superficial pursuit of temporal power.
