In Chapter 16, Poem 3 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the concept of spiritual unawareness is explored. The poem asserts that if a seeker truly understood the magnitude of their separation and what has been lost from them, they would be overcome with continuous sorrow. It contrasts superficial claims of being wounded by love with the profound, paralyzing grief that accompanies genuine awareness of one's distance from the Divine.
