In Chapter 19, Poem 14 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the spiritual danger of ego-centric existence and self-display. Stepping out of the 'veil' of spiritual humility brings about inner division and separation from the Divine. Attar asserts that the ultimate torment for the spiritual seeker is to be left utterly alone, confronted only by their own ego ('turn your face to yourself'), highlighting the necessity of ego-effacement on the mystical path.
