This concept explores the theme of impermanence and the illusory nature of worldly existence in Chapter 22, Poem 4 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh. The poem emphasizes that everything in the material realm is ultimately transient and akin to non-existence. It advises the seeker to cultivate detachment by letting go of worldly attachments and treating the seemingly pleasant world as if it never existed.

<p>چون هرچه بود اندک و بسیار نبود<br />
در زیر دیار چرخ دیار نبود</p>
<p>هر چند جهان خوشست بگذار زیاد<br />
انگار که هرچه بود انگار نبود</p>

## English translation
Since whatever existed was neither a little nor a lot,
Beneath the realm of the heavens, there was no inhabitant.
Although the world is pleasant, let it go from your memory,
Assume that whatever existed, as if it never existed.
