The Value and Inviolability of the Spiritual Treasure in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 6, Poem 89)

Immense Value of the Spiritual Treasure

In the first couplet, Attar asserts the supreme value of his internal spiritual realization (referred to as his 'spiritual treasure' or 'naqd'). This state is so elevated that no superficial seeker ('beggar') can ever access or comprehend it.

Inviolability against the Two Worlds

The second couplet emphasizes the absolute security and sovereignty of this spiritual wealth. Even if both worlds (the physical and spiritual realms) were to oppose the mystic, they could never touch, alter, or diminish this divine gift, demonstrating the independence of the soul's inner certainty.
