In Chapter 47, Poem 93 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar uses the separation of the candle (beeswax) from honey to symbolize the soul's estrangement from its sweet divine origin. He admonishes the fire burning the candle to remain humble and harmonious rather than arrogant, highlighting that the trials of spiritual purification and the ultimate consumption of the lover should not be treated with discord or pride, but with solemn reverence for the pain of separation.
