In Chapter 27, Poem 17 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the profound shift from intellectual illusion (pendar) to direct spiritual vision (didar). The heart initially operates under the false assumption that it understands or controls divine secrets. However, upon attaining true vision, this intellectual arrogance is entirely shattered. The mystic is left in a state of utter bewilderment, regret, and profound helplessness—metaphorically expressed as biting the back of the hand and staring blankly at a wall. This quatrain highlights the overwhelming nature of the divine encounter, which invalidates all prior intellectual assumptions and leaves the seeker in stunned awe.
