Universal Unveiling and the Heresy of the Soul in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 35, Poem 13)

In Chapter 35, Poem 13 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the profound implications of divine manifestation. The lifting of the veil from the Beloved's face symbolizes the ultimate revelation of divine reality, which consequently removes all other illusory veils in the world. Furthermore, the poem identifies independent, ego-centric existence as the 'heresy of the soul' (بدعت جان), suggesting that since all life derives entirely from Divine Love, the illusion of an autonomous self must be ultimately discarded.
