In Chapter 16, Poem 17 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar uses the recurring motif of the veil (پرده) to represent the myriad layers of spiritual obstacles or hidden realities. He asserts that for every veil established, a corresponding force will arise to tear it away. By cautioning the seeker that there are 'a hundred thousand veils hidden' and advising against haste, Attar illustrates the spiritual journey as a gradual, continuous process of unveiling, where superficial illusions are progressively removed to reveal ultimate truth.
