The Symbolism of the Simorgh's Feather in Attar's Allegory
In Attar's 'The Conference of the Birds', the Simorgh's feather, which falls in the middle of China, represents the manifestation of divine beauty, light, and grace in the material world. This allegory explains that all worldly forms, arts, and diversity are merely scattered reflections of the single divine source. Grasping this concept is essential for understanding how the visible universe acts as a spiritual signpost prompting the seeker's journey back to the Divine (the Simorgh).
