Concealing the Secret and the Soul as a Mirror in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 10, Poem 25)

In Poem 25 from Chapter 10 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the seeker is instructed to keep the divine secret hidden even from their own ego and to embrace the 'incurable pain' of spiritual longing. The ultimate goal of this spiritual purification is to transform the soul into a mirror, constantly held before the Beloved to reflect His divine beauty, emphasizing complete focus on the Divine rather than the self.
