Microcosmic Reflection and the Boundless Divine Ocean in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 4, Poem 26)

In Chapter 4, Poem 26 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar articulates a profound vision of the Divine through the metaphor of a boundless, beginningless, and endless ocean. A central theme of this quatrain is the reflection of the macrocosm within the microcosm, expressed in the line 'In every part of it, I saw both worlds manifest'. This illustrates the mystical concept that the entirety of existence and the Divine reality are fully contained and reflected within every single fragment of creation, dissolving the conventional boundaries between the part and the unified Whole.
