Transient Inspiration Versus Permanent Spiritual Residency in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 10, Poem 33)
In Chapter 10, Poem 33 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar of Nishapur contrasts transient spiritual states or inspirations with their permanent stabilization within the soul. He emphasizes that a divine secret or inspiration (وارد غیبی) only becomes a true, eternal possession of the seeker when it ceases to be a passing traveler (سفر) and establishes itself as a permanent resident (مقیم) within the soul.
