Abstract :

One of the areas of humor application is in Farsi literature and theosophical works. Common points between theosophy and humor have caused them to be conjoined in theosophical poetry and to be used with the background of theosophical humor in mystic works. Hence, theosophical language structure and also humor structure which rely on some aspect of non-contradiction principle; creates the logical and structural basis for usage of humor. Moreover, both theosophy and humor are based on spirit elation and training as well. Therefore, theosophy and humor have a deep bond together and overlap on another in terms of structure and concept.
