مقالهٔ دهم الهی‌نامه / The Tenth Discourse of Elahi Nameh

The Tenth Discourse (مقالهٔ دهم) of Farid ud-Din Attar's Elahi Nameh contains a series of interconnected poems and stories exploring themes of divine love, spiritual madness, and detachment from worldly affairs. In this section, Attar frequently employs the archetype of the 'madman' (دیوانه) to convey raw, unfiltered spiritual yearning and to critique superficial religious conformity. Consecutive tales in this discourse—such as those of the Supplicant, the Weeping Madman, and the Madman's Supplication—build upon these recurring motifs.
