Transcending Intellect to Perceive Universal Divine Beauty in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 6, Poem 45)

In Poem 45 of Chapter 6 in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet emphasizes that realizing the ultimate mystical secret requires transcending rational intellect (عقل) in favor of passionate devotion (سود��یی). By abandoning reason for this higher state of awareness, the mystic's perception is transformed. Everything the mystic gazes upon is no longer seen as merely physical, but rather as an open eye reflecting a 'hundred thousand' manifestations of divine beauty.
