The Illusory Nature of the Physical Frame and the Call to Spiritual Awakening in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 7, Poem 16)

This concept explains Attar's teaching that the physical body (the frame) is a temporary and dream-like structure. It emphasizes that pride based on worldly status (high or low) is futile because the material world is merely a dream. The poem calls for a manful spiritual effort to awaken from this state and recognize the spiritual reality that sits within.
