In Chapter 14, Poem 7 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar describes the material world as a treacherous place and an 'ash-pit of a carcass' (گلخن مردار). He directly challenges the reader by stating they are neither a leopard, a pig, nor a dog, questioning why a human would settle for such a base existence. The poem serves as a stark reminder for the seeker to reject animalistic tendencies and worldly degradation, calling them to elevate their soul above the thorny, material realm.
