The Alignment of Inner and Outer Divine Grace in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 6, Poem 87)

In this quatrain, Attar describes a spiritual experience initiated by a message from the Beloved sent through the spirit. This divine communication elevates the mystic beyond the dualities of the two worlds, resulting in ultimate peace. The poem highlights the harmony between the esoteric realm (behind the veil) and the exoteric realm (outside the veil), showing how the spiritual work accomplished in secret is manifested as grace in the outer life of the seeker.
