In Chapter 40, Poem 19 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the dialogue between the lover and the Beloved highlights the paradox of spiritual union and the limitations of physical form. The lover asks for an embrace as a sign of 'one-coloredness' (sincerity and unity). The Beloved's response—that the lover cannot fit within His robe, and that an embrace would make the robe too tight—serves as a mystical metaphor. It illustrates the impossibility of containing the boundless reality of divine union within the finite constraints of the material world, and suggests that the individual ego (the lover) cannot simply be squeezed into the domain of the Absolute without shattering the bounds of form.
