Continuous Divine Manifestation and Hiddenness in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 4, Poem 92)
In Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 4, Poem 92), the poet explores the paradox of the Divine being simultaneously hidden and continuously manifest. The quatrain states that the Beloved never reveals His true face, yet He is constantly revealing Himself in ever-new forms and greater beauty. This reflects the Sufi concept of tajalli (divine manifestation), where the Divine Essence remains eternally concealed while its attributes and beauty manifest endlessly in the phenomenal world.
