In Chapter 9, Poem 20 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar describes the profound impact of encountering eternity. This experience leads to an ever-increasing mystical bewilderment (tahayyur), rendering the concepts of existence and non-existence irrelevant, and leaving the seeker in a state of absolute perplexity about their own condition.

<p>زانگه که بقا روی نمودست مرا<br />
هر لحظه تحیری فزودست مرا</p>
<p>از بود و نبود من چه سودست مرا<br />
چون میبندانم که چه بودست مرا</p>

</div>

## English translation
Ever since eternity showed its face to me,
Every moment my bewilderment has increased.
What profit is there for me from my existence and non-existence,
Since I do not know what has become of me?
