Divine Love as the Annihilator of Human Existence in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 7, Poem 7)
This concept explores the mystical paradox where the human claim to 'existence' is framed as an 'accusation' or an affront in the presence of the Absolute. Attar posits that Divine Love is incompatible with the lover's ego; the Beloved's superior worthiness of existence necessitates the negation of the self, transforming the lover into a state of non-existence (fana).
