In Chapter 32, Poem 15 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the unpredictable and escalating nature of divine love and sorrow. The speaker initially believes that having survived the sorrow of love once, they possess the resilience to easily endure it to the end. However, a new and intense manifestation of the Beloved completely shatters this assumption, making the situation entirely unendurable. This highlights a core theme in Sufi literature: the trials of the mystical path are ever-deepening, and past spiritual endurance does not guarantee the ability to withstand future, more profound divine revelations.
