Bewilderment and Transformation in Divine Love in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 29, Poem 52)
In Chapter 29, Poem 52 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar highlights the concept of bewilderment (سرگردانی) as a supreme state in divine love, valuing even the smallest fraction of it above all worldly authority and status. The lover embraces the profound transformation and internal upheaval—described as being turned "upside down" (زیر و زبر)—caused by the Beloved, actively seeking to be further dismantled and reshaped by this transformative love.
