Divine Manifestation in All Forms in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 4, Poem 75)
In Poem 75 of Chapter 4 in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet emphasizes the profound Sufi concept that the Divine is the ultimate reality behind all visible phenomena. By concluding that "He is the outward manifestation of whatever you see" (پس ظاهر اوست هر چه میبینی تو), Attar illustrates that regardless of the specific spiritual path the soul takes, the seeker ultimately encounters the Divine presence in all things. The imagery of choosing the "particle over the sun" serves to remind the traveler that all aspects of creation, whether minute or vast, reflect the same divine truth.
