Spiritual Silence and the Concealment of Inner Pain in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 17, Poem 2)

In Chapter 17, Poem 2 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet extols the virtue of spiritual silence and the concealment of inner turmoil. The poem praises the individual who endures profound bewilderment, countless spiritual experiences, and deep sorrow without ever speaking of them. This reflects the mystic ideal that true spiritual encounters and divine pain are sacred secrets meant to be borne silently within the soul, rather than expressed or revealed to the world.
