In Poem 1 of Chapter 4 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar uses the metaphor of the ocean and the drop to explore the mystical concept of cosmic unity and divine vastness. The 'ocean' represents the absolute, infinite divine reality that encompasses all of existence, spanning from the highest celestial realms ('above the Throne') to the lowest physical world ('moist soil'). By characterizing the entire cosmos as merely a 'drop' of this ocean, Attar emphasizes the infinitesimal nature of the created universe in comparison to God, while simultaneously highlighting their fundamental interconnectedness.
