In the Twenty-First Discourse of Farid al-Din Attar's Elahi Nameh, the son acknowledges the transformative value of his father's advice but defends his persistent desire for alchemy. He argues that material wealth (the world) and religion must align to provide the stability required to achieve and maintain permanent union with the Beloved. For him, alchemy is not a pursuit of greed, but a necessary foundation to secure both his worldly existence and spiritual devotion.
