Transcending the Heavens and the Concealment of Spiritual Fortune in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 8, Poem 27)

This concept explores the spiritual imperative to look beyond the material world and transcend celestial boundaries to witness the 'other world'. It emphasizes the paradoxical duty of the seeker regarding spiritual 'fortune' (dowlat): when divine grace or a mystical state arrives, it must be immediately concealed, even from the seeker's own ego, to prevent pride and preserve the sanctity of the experience.
