Divine Timelessness and Incomprehensibility in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 30, Poem 23)
This concept explores the theme of Divine transcendence and incomprehensibility in Poem 23, Chapter 30 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh. The poem asserts that God exists beyond human constructs of time ('before and after') and measure ('less and more'), despite being the ultimate source of these dimensions. It further emphasizes epistemological humility in Sufi thought, stating that the true, intrinsic nature of the Divine is completely inaccessible to human cognition and imagination.
