Transcending Existence and the Two Worlds in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 8, Poem 62)

In Chapter 8, Poem 62 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet articulates the mystical aspiration to attain ultimate spiritual detachment by transcending all forms of duality. The verses describe a state of being free from the constraints of 'existence and non-existence' and sitting 'without both worlds.' This reflects the Sufi concept of absolute liberation from both worldly tethers and metaphysical distinctions, allowing the seeker to reach a state of profound tranquility beyond the limitations of 'this' and 'that'.
