In Chapter 27, Poem 30 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the mystical paradox of proximity to the Divine. The quatrain warns the spiritual seeker neither to draw too close nor remain too far. This reflects a profound realization in Sufism: as a seeker approaches the infinite Divine, they become increasingly aware of the insurmountable vastness and their own insignificance, making them feel even farther away. Thus, intense closeness paradoxically reveals an even greater spiritual distance.
