In Poem 38 of Chapter 9 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the universal state of seeking and spiritual bewilderment (hayrat). The heart observes that all particles of the two worlds are 'dry-lipped' (thirsty for the Divine) and in a state of perpetual quest. After suffering greatly ('wandering in blood'), the ultimate realization is one of profound wonder, where the sheer magnitude of the divine mystery transforms all perception into pure bewilderment.
