In Chapter 13, Poem 22 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet illustrates the total sacrifice required on the path of divine love. The speaker describes gambling away their 'knowledge and reason' (علم و خرد), as well as their soul and entire life's harvest. The metaphor of gambling (باختن) emphasizes that true spiritual love demands the complete abandonment of intellectual pride, worldly attainments, and the ego itself, leaving the lover entirely emptied for the Beloved.
