High Resolve and Spiritual Yearning in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 31, Poem 9)
In this poem from Chapter 31 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar emphasizes the necessity of 'high resolve' (همت) and spiritual yearning to attain spiritual elevation, metaphorically described as reaching a 'fruitful branch.' The second couplet reflects on the infinite, beginningless, and endless nature of the cosmos, contrasting it with humanity's limited acquisition of divine knowledge and grace, posing a contemplative question about human capacity in the face of infinity.
