In Chapter 27, Poem 13 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet expresses the profound realization that despite employing a 'thousand stratagems' to gain 'everything', the ultimate result is nothingness. This profound sense of futility applies not only to physical existence ('water and clay') but also to the spiritual and emotional realms ('soul and heart'). The poem emphasizes that the pursuit of worldly or even spiritual acquisitions ultimately leads to the profound recognition of human nothingness.
