This concept examines the seeker's realization that spiritual progress can lead to the 'blindness' of physical perception and the inadequacy of even the 'eye of the heart' to grasp the Divine. Attar uses the metaphor of the 'encompassing ocean' (bahr-e mohit) to represent the Divine Essence, which remains invisible and incomprehensible regardless of the depth of the heart's gaze, illustrating the stage of spiritual bewilderment (Hayrat).
