Divine Omnipresence and the Beloved as the World in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 4, Poem 90)

In Chapter 4, Poem 90 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the speaker describes the overwhelming experience of encountering divine secrets. The poem contrasts the exhausting search for the Beloved 'in all the world' with the ultimate realization that the Beloved is not contained within the world, but rather is the entire world. This reflects the mystical concept of divine omnipresence or Wahdat al-Wujud (unity of existence), where the seeker's journey ends in the wondrous recognition that the Divine encompasses and constitutes all of reality.
