In Attar's 'Conference of the Birds', the poem 'The Speech of Abu Ali Rudbari at the Moment of Death' illustrates the advanced Sufi ideal of loving God purely for His own sake, without regard for the rewards of Paradise or the fear of Hell. As Abu Ali Rudbari lies dying, he is offered a magnificent throne in heaven and the welcoming calls of angels. However, he rejects these celestial rewards as mere 'bribes' that appeal only to 'people of lust'. Asserting that his soul is inextricably intertwined with divine love, he declares that he recognizes neither heaven nor hell. This narrative emphasizes that the ultimate spiritual goal is direct communion with the Divine, and that any attachment to the rewards of the afterlife is an obstacle to true mystical love.
