Equanimity and the Transcendence of Dualities in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 6, Poem 69)
In Chapter 6, Poem 69 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the attainment of ultimate equanimity within the realm of divine love. The poem illustrates a profound mystical state where the lover transcends all fundamental dualities, whether they be existential (existence and non-existence), emotional (joy and grief, abundance and scarcity), or spiritual (separation and union). By declaring that all such contrasting states are the same, the poet highlights the concept of self-annihilation (fana) and absolute absorption in the Beloved, where individual desires and distinctions cease to exist.
