Transcending Intellect and Divine Self-Love in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 6, Poem 57)
In Chapter 6, Poem 57 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the speaker emphasizes the mystical necessity of transcending the rational intellect and the dualities of the phenomenal world, such as 'good and evil.' By piercing the veil of the illusory ego, the speaker identifies with the absolute Divine Beauty. This realization leads to a profound state of divine self-love, where the seeker recognizes that the only true existence and beauty belong to the Divine, thereby collapsing the distinction between the lover and the Beloved.
