In Chapter 9, Poem 2 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet portrays the universal condition of bewilderment in the quest for spiritual truth. He asserts that every worldly essence governed by the cosmos is bewildered in its search for the "light of certainty" (نور یقین). By illustrating even the smallest particles spinning in the air as lost wanderers in an "endless valley," Attar emphasizes that the arduous and disorienting journey toward divine realization is a fundamental state shared by all levels of existence.
