Enduring Separation and Concealing Spiritual Treasure in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 31, Poem 22)
In Poem 22 of Chapter 31 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet emphasizes two key spiritual principles: the concealment of spiritual experiences ('treasure') and the profound value found in the pain of separation from the Divine. If the seeker is not granted the joy of union, they are instructed to embrace and hold onto the 'mourning of separation' as a substitute, recognizing that the affliction itself is a meaningful connection to the Beloved.
