Just

a thought, just a thought.

Other than that, yeah, we are now on the verge of hopefully arriving at the destination of the journey.

And Attar tells us, this is now verse 38 in the guide, he says, آلامی پر مورد می بردند را بیش نرسیدند سی آن جایگا He says, even though a whole world of birds, alam means a world, a whole world of birds had set out on the journey, no more than 30 reached that place, reached that place of arrival.

So there was a striking contrast here between a world of birds, alamipormorg, and the final number of birds that arrived, which is 30.

And C, which is 30, is not a random number here, as we will soon find out.

Again, no spoilers yet, but something to note here is that the number 30 is not just chosen randomly.

Their souls became awestruck.

They're like, "Oh, I actually have to work

She says, all these forms of creation

originate in his glory, in the glory of the Seymour.

They're all reflections.

Everything that's out in this world is reflections of the patterns of the feathers of Seymour.

It's a really beautiful image.

Son literally means craftsmanship.

And here it stands for all of creation.

Yeah.

So

whether it's true or not, I don't know.

But it's a really fun story to think about and imagine.

So that's a fun one.

Other than that, like I say, he's gifted us several amazing works, but his most well-known and, as you said, most translated one is Manta Bote.
