The Ineffable Divine 'Thing' and Absolute Reality in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 4, Poem 15)
In Chapter 4, Poem 15 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the Divine is described as an ineffable 'thing' (چیز) that transcends human knowledge and discernment. The poem establishes God as the absolute reality—an existence wherein all other existences are rendered non-existent (نابود) and all other things become insignificant (ناچیز). This highlights the core Sufi themes of divine transcendence and the illusory nature of the created world when compared to the overwhelming reality of the Divine essence.
