In Chapter 31, Poem 43 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the speaker confronts the absolute unattainability of divine union. Concluding that this ultimate connection is impossible for anyone to achieve, the mystic paradoxically embraces separation (hejr) as the superior and more authentic spiritual state. By fleeing into separation and accepting the absence of a companion, the seeker acknowledges the absolute transcendence of the Divine, effectively transforming the pain of distance into the preferred mode of spiritual existence.
