In Poem 28 of Chapter 6 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet articulates fundamental Sufi paradoxes regarding the spiritual path. He posits that one achieves true mastery only by remaining a perpetual student, and ultimate freedom is found exclusively through complete servitude or 'enslavement' to the Divine. Furthermore, the poem describes the bewildering emotional state of the mystic, where profound sorrow coexists with, or even emerges from, ultimate joy, emphasizing the wondrous and deeply contradictory nature of the spiritual journey.
