The Infinite Soul and the Danger of Illusory Veils in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 18, Poem 2)
In Chapter 18, Poem 2 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet addresses the danger of spiritual complacency. The poem warns that regardless of how much effort a seeker has put into the long spiritual path, stopping at an illusory stage or a single 'veil' is a profound loss. Because the human soul is infinite and has no ultimate end, the spiritual journey must remain continuous, rather than halting prematurely at illusions.
