This concept examines the Sufi teaching of 'rad-o-qabul' (acceptance and rejection) as presented in the stories of Rabia al-Adawiyya. In the narrative of her interrupted pilgrimage, Attar explains that the seeker must move beyond the 'sea of futility' (bahr-e fuzul)—where one is agitated by the binary of divine favor or redirection—and instead submit to the 'Master of the Event' (Sahib-e Waqe'a). This state of spiritual equilibrium is a prerequisite for 'istighraq' (total absorption), where the soul becomes so lost in God that it transcends both physical pain and the dualistic impulse to judge the sectarian 'acceptance or rejection' of others.
