In Chapter 6, Poem 76 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the Sufi paradox of inquiring about the divine secret from the external world while it actually resides within the soul. The poem emphasizes the spiritual practice of concealment (kitman), where the mystic asks for signs of the Beloved from the outside specifically to disguise their inner state of union and protect the secret within their heart from public discovery.
