This concept explores the paradox in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 4, Poem 56), where the seeker is instructed to maintain endless spiritual thirst and profound humility, or 'courtesy' (adab). Despite experiencing boundless divine grace, likened to drinking a thousand oceans, the true seeker must remain 'dry-lipped' and perpetually in quest. This signifies that the Divine is inexhaustible, and true spiritual realization requires a constant state of yearning rather than the illusion of complete satisfaction.
