In Chapter 31, Poem 21 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar of Nishapur articulates the paradox of the spiritual journey toward the Divine. The poem emphasizes that the ultimate goal of union is fundamentally unattainable for any seeker. Consequently, the spiritual path is portrayed as an endless and increasingly obscure endeavor; no matter how far seekers travel along the path, they cannot bridge the infinite gap between the human and the Divine, remaining conceptually no closer to their destination than when they began.
