In Poem 45 from Chapter 8 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the speaker describes the grueling experience of divine love as a state of constant 'burning and melting' akin to a candle. Realizing that the pain of this spiritual longing has no conventional remedy, the lover's ultimate response is complete self-effacement. The phrase 'bringing our entire self back to nothingness' encapsulates the Sufi concept of fana (annihilation), where the ego is entirely consumed and dissolved by the overwhelming reality and uncurable pain of divine love.
