In Attar's Elahi Nameh, Majnun's offering of a single needle to Layla represents the Sufi concept of absolute spiritual poverty (faqr) and the shedding of all worldly possessions in the path of divine love. When Layla demands a physical token of his devotion, Majnun presents a needle, declaring it to be his sole asset in the entire universe. In mystical interpretation, this needle symbolizes the single-minded focus of the lover, having stripped away all dualities and intellectual baggage. It represents the ultimate stage of surrender where the seeker retains nothing of the 'two worlds' (do kawn) except the singular, humble tool of spiritual union and connection with the Beloved.
