Divine Manifestation and the Bewilderment of the Veils in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 33, Poem 2)
In Chapter 33, Poem 2 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar of Nishapur explores the theme of dynamic and constant divine manifestation (جلوهگری) that increases with every breath. The poet expresses profound bewilderment (تحیر) at the paradoxical nature of these manifestations—appearing both in the humble dust and in the intensity of blood. The poem highlights the subtle grace of the "various veils" (حجابهای گوناگون) through which the Divine simultaneously reveals and conceals Itself, ultimately confounding the seeker.
