Transcendence of Religious Duality in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 20, Poem 11)

In Chapter 20, Poem 11 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the mystical transcendence of traditional religious binaries. By declaring that he is 'neither an infidel nor a Muslim' and asserting 'I am just as I am,' the poem illustrates a state of spiritual realization that moves beyond formal religious categories (faith vs. infidelity) to achieve a pure, unmediated state of existence.
