In Poem 23 of Chapter 20 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar explores the fundamental obstacle of divided intentions on the Sufi path. By employing the metaphor of traveling with 'two heads'—simultaneously seeking the Divine and seeking oneself—Attar highlights the impossibility of spiritual progress when hindered by the ego. The poem argues that genuine spiritual realization demands the complete abandonment of self-interest. Clinging to the self creates a dualism that leaves the seeker unaware and mired in suffering, as the true path requires single-minded devotion and the annihilation of the ego.
