In Poem 6 of Chapter 11 of Mokhtar Nameh, Farid al-Din Attar highlights the epistemological limitations of human understanding regarding the Divine. The poem instructs the seeker to "gaze upon the creation" (son') and refrain from inquiring about the "Essence" (zat). This aligns with the Sufi tenet that the ultimate Divine Essence is utterly transcendent and inherently unknowable to the human intellect, whereas God's attributes and acts can be witnessed through His creation. Rather than engaging in futile intellectual speculation ("prolonging the tale") about the nature of particles or the passage of time, the seeker is advised to seize the spiritual present (waqt), embrace spiritual sorrow or bewilderment, and seek the Divine through His manifestations in the world rather than attempting to comprehend His unfathomable core.
