This concept explores the theme of spiritual distress in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 38, Poem 9). The poet describes how turning one's intention toward the beloved instantly strips the heart of patience, casting it a thousand leagues away. The metaphor of asking for 'a piece of sugar' from the beloved's mouth illustrates the desire for divine sweetness or union, which paradoxically leads to immediate hardship and distress. This highlights the transformative and demanding nature of the spiritual path in Sufi literature, where the pursuit of divine love requires enduring immense inner turmoil.
