In the Twenty-Second Discourse of Farid al-Din Attar's Elahi Nameh, the son shifts his approach regarding his pursuit of alchemy. Having previously justified his desire for it, he now asks his father to explain the true nature of alchemy, claiming that life is impossible without it. This inquiry marks a transition from a craving for material wealth to a request for deeper understanding, setting the stage for the father's spiritual guidance on true inner alchemy.
