In Chapter 18, Poem 40 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet calls for absolute devotion and the complete surrender of the self to the Divine. The imagery of 'placing the soul on the palm of the hand' represents a profound willingness to sacrifice one's very life and ego. By urging the seeker to dedicate both their 'work' (actions) and 'head' (intellect and self-will) to the Beloved's cause, the poem emphasizes that true spiritual engagement requires an all-encompassing, continuous offering of one's entire being and endeavors.
