In this section of Attar's Asrar Nameh, the poet recounts a reflection by the Sheikh of Mihna (Abu Sa'id Abu'l-Khayr) on his own spiritual insignificance. The Sheikh observes that the earth and sky are filled with the presence of great mystics like Bayazid Bastami, while he feels completely lost and devoid of any ego or self-importance. He describes the human being as merely a handful of dust containing wind (breath), where the physical body acts as a temporary talisman guarding the hidden treasure of the soul. This narrative serves to illustrate the profound Sufi concepts of self-annihilation (fana) and extreme humility, emphasizing that a true spiritual seeker must recognize their physical nothingness.
