The Spiritual Diver and the Pearl of Truth in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 6, Poem 11)
In Chapter 6, Poem 11 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the spiritual seeker is metaphorically portrayed as a diver plunging into the infinite divine ocean to find the pearl of ultimate truth. This quest requires abandoning both superficial worldly knowledge and ignorance. The poem underscores the vastness of the divine realm by stating that the nine heavens are entirely submerged within this ocean, illustrating the insignificance of the physical cosmos compared to spiritual reality.
