Divine Manifestation and the Key to Hidden Worlds in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Poem 27)
In Poem 27 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the overwhelming self-evidence of the Divine. The poem suggests that a single moment of divine discourse serves as the key to unlocking a hundred hidden worlds. It further posits a paradox regarding divine hiddenness and manifestation: while things that are not manifest are typically considered hidden, the Divine is so profoundly and universally evident that He transcends the need to 'become' manifest. God's presence is an absolute reality that outshines the duality of being hidden or revealed.
