In Chapter 30, Poem 3 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the speaker seeks to be enveloped in divine life by appealing to God's innate grace. However, Divine Glory (عزت) sharply rebukes the speaker, asking, 'How long will you hold a writ and a decree of your own?' This dialogue highlights the Sufi concept that one cannot attain true closeness to the Divine while maintaining a sense of separate selfhood or spiritual entitlement. The 'writ and decree' symbolize the ego's persistent claims and self-reliance, which act as barriers and must be completely surrendered to experience true divine proximity.
