Universal Spiritual Thirst in the Boundless Ocean in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Poem 60)

In Poem 60 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar explores the concept of an infinite divine ocean in which all existence is immersed, regardless of awareness. He emphasizes the profound, insatiable spiritual thirst of all creation, illustrating that if the sun itself is thirsty, every single particle possesses a yearning a thousand times greater. This metaphor highlights the boundless nature of the divine and the universal, unending longing of all beings to connect with it.
