Incurable Divine Pain and Absolute Submission in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 41, Poem 26)
In Chapter 41, Poem 26 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poem delves into the inescapable and uncurable nature of divine affliction. The speaker asserts that the pain bestowed by the Beloved cannot be remedied and must be accepted without question or resistance. The physical imagery of failing to protect one's turban and being unable to release one's hand from the Beloved's hem conveys a state of absolute surrender, illustrating that the lover is entirely overwhelmed and inextricably bound to the Divine will.
