The Thought-Free Heart and the Ocean of Truth in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 19, Poem 23)
In Chapter 19, Poem 23 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet emphasizes the spiritual necessity of freeing the heart from worldly thoughts, anxieties, and pain. Attar suggests that a heart liberated from such cognitive and emotional burdens gains a transcendent wealth that surpasses both the physical and spiritual realms ('both worlds'). Ultimately, an individual who achieves this state of absolute inner stillness and freedom from distress is metaphorically identified with the 'ocean of Truth' (Haqiqat), representing a state of profound mystical realization and divine union.
