In Chapter 47, Poem 3 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the theme of universal divine passion, stating that every atom is bewildered by its longing for the Divine. To navigate this overwhelming reality, the true spiritual seeker is compared to a candle. The seeker must have a 'heart full of fire'—symbolizing burning, passionate love and spiritual suffering—yet remain 'steadfast in place,' representing unwavering endurance and devotion on the mystic path.
