In Chapter 7, Poem 29 of Farid al-Din Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet uses the metaphor of the mirror to depict human spiritual blindness. The poem describes how creatures look into the mirror of existence but remain preoccupied with their own reflections, completely unaware of the mirror itself. This represents how individuals become distracted by the illusions of the self and the material world, failing to recognize the Divine reality that serves as the foundation for all existence.
