In Attar's The Conference of the Birds, the expulsion of Adam from Paradise serves as a spiritual lesson on the danger of secondary attachment. Attar argues that even the reward of Paradise becomes a spiritual veil if it distracts the seeker from the Creator. Divine Jealousy (ghayrat) dictates that any attachment to other than the Beloved leads to spiritual decline, emphasizing that the true seeker's focus must remain exclusively on the Divine.
