In Chapter 24, Poem 19 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet highlights the profound irony of the human condition regarding mortality. While death is the most immediate and certain reality of human existence, individuals often live in a state of delusion, feeling entirely distant from it. Attar warns against being deceived by worldly pursuits and emphasizes that recognizing the ever-present proximity of death is crucial for true self-awareness and spiritual awakening.
