Limitless Divine Manifestation and Bewilderment in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 33, Poem 28)

In Poem 28 of Chapter 33 in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet expresses profound bewilderment in the face of the limitless and boundless manifestations of the Divine. The quatrain highlights the paradoxical and challenging nature of the spiritual path, noting that every route has a barrier and every acceptance involves rejection. It ultimately concludes that the endless nature of God's manifestations leaves the seeker in a state of absolute awe and perplexity, a central theme in Sufi literature known as Heyrat (bewilderment).
