Divine Vision and the Symbol of the Simurgh in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 6, Poem 22)

This concept explores the profound mystical themes of divine vision and proximity in Poem 22 (Chapter 6) of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh. The poem describes the spiritual awakening of beholding the 'Sun of the Divine Presence,' which allows the mystic to perceive the interconnected 'particles of both worlds.' Furthermore, it utilizes the central Sufi symbol of the 'Simurgh'���residing behind the 'Mount Qaf of Power' and casting its shadow over the cosmic Throne—to represent the ultimate, transcendent, and all-encompassing nature of the Divine.
