In Poem 35 of Chapter 35 from Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the speaker outlines the arduous conditions required to traverse the path of love. The imagery of wandering in blood and stepping forth like a consuming candle symbolizes absolute self-sacrifice and the annihilation of the ego. The poem further illustrates the dual mystical effects of the Beloved's beauty: the seeker is simultaneously warmed by the radiant torch of the Beloved's face and driven to divine madness by the captivating chains of His tresses. This reflects a central Sufi theme where spiritual love demands complete self-effacement and surrender to sacred bewilderment.
