The Soul as the Recipient of Divine Secrets in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 10, Poem 36)
This concept explores Attar's assertion in Poem 36 of Chapter 10 that the soul (jan) is the ultimate destination for the secrets of both worlds. The poem describes these secrets as being 'scattered' or 'sacrificed' upon the soul, suggesting that mysteries previously hidden 'behind the veil' are shared exclusively with the soul, thereby positioning it as the central locus of divine intimacy and esoteric knowledge.
