The Rejection of Remedy for Growing Divine Pain in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 41, Poem 15)

In Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 41, Poem 15), the mystic lover presents a paradox regarding divine suffering: any remedy offered by the Beloved would only result in additional pain. The poem emphasizes that the pain originating from the Divine is not static but continually increases every day. Therefore, seeking a cure is futile, as this spiritual affliction represents a progressive, deepening state of connection that cannot and should not be 'healed' in a conventional sense.
