In Chapter 29, Poem 7 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the theme of unquenchable spiritual thirst and the helplessness of the 'bound heart'. The imagery of drinking a 'thousand oceans every day' yet remaining destined to 'die from the pain of thirst' vividly illustrates the infinite nature of divine longing. This paradox suggests that the spiritual seeker's yearning cannot be satisfied by any finite measure; instead, the very pursuit of the Divine intensifies the thirst, making it a perpetual and agonizing, yet essential, state of the soul's journey.
