The Arduous Path and Inaccessibility of Divine Union in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 31, Poem 4)

In Chapter 31, Poem 4 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar depicts the pursuit of divine union as an overwhelmingly difficult endeavor for the 'heart-consumed' seeker. The metaphors of measuring the wind, a 'very long road', and a 'tightly closed door' emphasize the profound inaccessibility of the divine and the immense struggle required of the mystic on the spiritual path.
