In Chapter 44, Poem 2 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar presents the Qalandari theme of discarding the 'cloak of custom' (خرقهٔ رسم) to reject superficial religious and societal conformity. The seeker must overcome all obstacles on the spiritual path through absolute self-sacrifice, metaphorically staking their own 'head' (life or ego) and overthrowing even their own existence if it becomes a barrier.

<p>ما خرقهٔ رسم، از سر انداخته ایم<br />
سر را، بدل خرقه، درانداخته ایم</p>
<p>هر چیز که سد راه ما خواهد بود<br />
گر خود همه جان است، برانداخته ایم</p>

## English translation
We have cast off the cloak of custom from our head,
We have staked our head in place of the cloak.
Whatever becomes an obstacle in our path,
Even if it is life itself, we have overthrown it.
