The Unattainability of the Divine and the Blocked Paths in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 27, Poem 15)
In Chapter 27, Poem 15 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet expresses the absolute unattainability of the Divine destination. The poem illustrates that all paths, whether striving towards the heights of the heavens or the depths of the earth, are ultimately blocked. It emphasizes that human effort and movement across the universe are futile in reaching the Beloved, and even the ultimate sacrifice of giving one's life is insufficient to attain even the dust of the Divine presence.
