In Chapter 8, Poem 42 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet emphasizes the necessity of the inward spiritual journey, instructing the seeker to observe with the 'eye of the heart' and travel deep into the soul. This internal exploration is tied to the Sufi concept of 'dying before dying'—passing beyond the ordinary state of the living to attain spiritual immortality and avoid the fate of becoming mere dust in the physical world.
