In Poem 17 of Chapter 4 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the metaphor of the divine ocean is used to illustrate the continuous, dynamic manifestation of God ('changes every moment'). Attar emphasizes that this infinite reality cannot be entirely contained or revealed by any 'veil' of phenomenal existence. Building on the recurring theme of cosmic insignificance, the poem asserts that a single 'drop' of this profound divine essence is infinitely vaster than 'eighteen thousand worlds,' highlighting the overwhelming, incomprehensible magnitude of the Divine relative to the created universe.
