The Uncontainable Passion and the Boundless Ocean in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 6, Poem 2)
In Poem 2 of Chapter 6 in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet expresses the overwhelming and unquenchable nature of spiritual passion (سودا). He rejects the advice of those who suggest he temper or suppress this intense yearning, arguing that it is as impossible as trying to bind or contain the entire ocean. The imagery emphasizes the boundless, untamable force of divine love within the seeker.
