Severing Attachments to Enter the Veil in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 19, Poem 19)
In Chapter 19, Poem 19 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet emphasizes that achieving true spiritual proximity ('entering behind the veil') requires the complete severance of all worldly and egoic attachments. The 'hangover' of the heart, despite not having tasted the 'wine of love,' symbolizes the soul's restless, innate yearning for the Divine. The poem teaches that one must cut all ties with the material world and the ego to truly experience this divine love and access the inner mysteries.
