The Inadequacy of Intellect and Annihilation in the Divine in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 41, Poem 19)
In Chapter 41, Poem 19 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet emphasizes that human knowledge, intellect, and worldly reputation are entirely insufficient for traversing the spiritual path. Instead, the ultimate realization is 'Fana' (annihilation), where the finite individual existence dissolves completely upon reaching the infinite and boundless existence of the Divine.
