Eternal Immutability of Space, Time, and Essence in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 4, Poem 36)

In Chapter 4, Poem 36 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the philosophical concept of eternal immutability. The poem asserts that space and time are fundamentally unchanging, pointing to a reality that transcends physical alterations. Furthermore, it emphasizes that the core essence of reality (symbolized by the atom or particle) remains identical regardless of how many outward forms or 'garments' obscure it. This illustrates the Sufi understanding that the underlying Divine Reality is constant and untouched by the illusions of outward, worldly change.
