This concept captures the central theological message of Attar's short tale regarding the Day of Resurrection. The poem posits that human sin is so pervasive that collective disgrace on the Day of Judgment is entirely expected and unremarkable. The true source of astonishment, the poet argues, is the rare phenomenon of a single individual managing to escape the heavy burden of their numerous transgressions to achieve salvation. This highlights the profound difficulty of maintaining spiritual purity in a world rife with moral pitfalls.
