This concept explores Attar's depiction of universal bewilderment in Chapter 11, Poem 31 of the Mokhtar Nameh. The poem illustrates that both humanity ('the slave and the free') and the cosmos itself ('the wheel of heaven') are trapped in a state of sorrowful confusion. By metaphorically describing the celestial sphere as having knocked on the door of the divine mystery for hundreds of thousands of years without it ever opening, Attar emphasizes the unfathomable and inaccessible nature of ultimate truth. Before this absolute mystery, all creation remains eternally bewildered and unable to gain entry.
