In the Fourteenth Discourse of Farid al-Din Attar's Elahi Nameh, the son modifies his pursuit of the literal Water of Life (Aab-e Hayat). Conceding that physical immortality and salvation from death may not be his destiny, he asks his father instead for the spiritual knowledge of this mystical water to illuminate his heart. This transition marks a crucial shift in the narrative from the ego's blind desire for endless worldly existence to a deeper, spiritual longing for enlightenment and the true essence of eternal life.
