The Inscrutable Nature of Love and the Bewildered Heart in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 11, Poem 20)
In Chapter 11, Poem 20 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet emphasizes the fundamental inscrutability of love and the resulting suffering of the seeker. The heart, failing to find the true 'way' or 'path' of this profound desire even for a moment, is left bleeding and bewildered. Ultimately, the poem asserts that within the realm of love, its underlying essence or 'thread' remains eternally undiscovered by anyone, underscoring the absolute limits of human comprehension when confronted with the profound mysteries of love.
