In Chapter 27, Poem 41 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet contrasts the seeker's state, surrounded by 'veils of illusion' (پرده پندار), with the Divine realm, concealed by 'veils of secrets' (پرده اسرار). The poem emphasizes the profound difficulty and uncertainty of the spiritual journey, acknowledging the vast effort required to traverse these epistemological and ontological barriers regardless of whether the ultimate goal of union is achieved.
