Abstract
As one of the most outstanding classical works of world literature and mystical literature of Iran, the valuable book of Masnavi Manavi has the most amazing type of narration. In the psychological and sociological structure of this work, Maulana Jalaluddin Muhammad Balkhi has turned it into one of the unique types of educational literature with the help of realistic and meaning-oriented taboo breaking. Humor, sarcasm and the use of crude words, although it seems to create an unpleasant feeling in the current audience of Masnavi.But deep thinking and reflection and paying attention to the funny details of those obscure parts of human life, open to him like a corridor and bring the sad depths of ignorance to the bright world. Beauty and ugliness in speech do not have intrinsic validity. For this reason, these two characteristics are relative. Based on this thinking, the audience considers the inner value of a subject, regardless of what form of speech the creator of the literary work presents to him. Therefore, the validity of the sense and the originality of the meaning explains the literature in the way that it does not match with the custom of the people of the time. The reason for the transfer of concepts in this way by Molavi can be understood from several environmental, educational, jurisprudential and circumstantial aspects.
