This concept explores the painful asymmetry in the relationship between the mystic and the Divine Beloved, as depicted in Poem 8 of Chapter 30 in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh. The poet highlights their own bound state as a 'slave' (بنده) who cries out in anguish, contrasted with the Beloved's absolute freedom (آزاد) and apparent indifference. This illustrates the inherent difficulty and suffering in the path of mystical devotion, where the lover's intense longing is met with the Beloved's complete self-sufficiency.
