In Chapter 28, Poem 7 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet delves into the Sufi concept of voluntary death, often referred to as 'dying before dying'. The poem asserts that if one can achieve spiritual death while still physically alive, actual physical death becomes an easy and momentary transition. It emphasizes that experiencing just a single moment of true, authentic living—living as one spiritually ought to live—is sufficient to prepare the soul to embrace death without hesitation.
