In Chapter 33, Poem 5 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the Sufi paradox of divine sorrow (gham) acting as the ultimate source of spiritual joy and intimacy. The sorrow of longing for the Divine is celebrated as the 'joy of both worlds' and the 'intimate of the soul,' transcending physical existence ('without the body's burden'). Furthermore, this mystical sorrow acts as a profound esoteric teacher, revealing inner spiritual truths and secrets that 'cannot be spoken openly.' This highlights the transformative and illuminating power of spiritual yearning in Sufi mysticism.
