The Illusion of Duality and the All-Encompassing Divine in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Poem 22)
In Poem 22 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar explores the theme of absolute divine unity by challenging the dualistic concepts of 'existence' (the created world) and 'Presence' (the divine realm). He argues that every being is completely immersed in the ineffable Divine. The poem culminates in the realization that nothing can exist 'outside' of God, as the Divine encompasses all reality, rendering the very notion of an 'outside' illusory.
