In Chapter 31, Poem 67 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the mystical practice of seeking signs of the Divine within the natural world as a means of connecting with an otherwise unattainable Creator. The opening lines illustrate this by equating the scent of a flower and the beauty of the moon with the Beloved's attributes, reflecting a worldview where earthly phenomena serve as mirrors for divine perfection.

The poem further acknowledges the fundamental impossibility of achieving absolute, unmediated unity with God ('the jewel of union'). Because this ultimate goal is beyond mortal reach, the poet concludes that the act of speaking about, longing for, and remembering the Beloved is the highest accessible form of devotion and the primary consolation for the mystic's soul.
