The Unlifted Veil and Divine Concealment in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 34, Poem 38)
In Chapter 34, Poem 38 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the persistent nature of the Divine veil (حجاب) is emphasized. The Beloved asserts that despite the existence of a 'hundred worlds of shame' (صد عالم تشویر), not a single veil has been lifted from His presence, nor have the 'two worlds' (دو کون) been removed from the path. This highlights a fundamental mystical theme: the absolute transcendence and inaccessibility of the Divine essence, which remains concealed in its majesty despite the seeker's longing or the existence of the created universe.
