The Futility of Seeking Remedy from the Beloved in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 32, Poem 27)
In Chapter 32, Poem 27 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the mystical paradox of seeking a remedy (چاره - chareh) from the Beloved. The poem highlights the absolute futility of trying to withdraw from the Divine or seeking a cure for the afflictions of love from the very source of that love. Attar asserts that the ultimate helplessness (بیچاره - bichareh) belongs to the one who expects the Beloved to provide a remedy, emphasizing the inescapable and overwhelming nature of the spiritual bond.
