Annihilation of the Self and Divine Omnipresence in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 8, Poem 13)
In Chapter 8, Poem 13 of Farid al-Din Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the mystical concept of Fana (annihilation of the ego) in relation to Divine omnipresence. The quatrain illustrates how the Divine encompasses every aspect of existence, from the physical body to the spiritual soul, and every atom in between. Attar suggests that it is only when the seeker completely loses their sense of independent selfhood within God's existence that they are able to witness the profound truth of the Divine encompassing the entire universe.
