        Masnavi is a grand oeuvre filled with a variety of meanings and multiplicity of ideas that drowns and bewilders the reader in the perpetual turbulence of its waves.  For this reason and for the repeated hesitation and reflection of the reader in every turn of the couplets of Masnavi, the main directions of thought and  the general purpose of the book remains usually hidden and the reader is incapable of grasping the grand thoughts of this literary masterpiece. In this article attempt is made to first specify the themes in the third book of Masnavi, using the frequency analysis approach, and second to present schematically anecdotes employed by the poet in the form of interconnected lyrics to induce one common theme and finally to analyze the results drawn from them.   Manuscript profile

        The fourth Book of Masnavi like other five Books in a series is filled to the brim with variety of themes.  It is known that in each Book there are thousands of concepts hidden in phrases and Moulana’s stream of consciousness constantly vacillates from one concept to the other.  The reader of this great voluminous book is usually lost in between its profound verses and in the labyrinths of Masnavi’s anecdotes and cannot follow Moulana’s fleeting  mind and seldom finds time to cast a look from the above at Masnavi.  The attempt has been made in this article to analyze the content and the themes of the fourth Book of Masnavi  in terms of frequency using the holistic approach  in order to present the most significant and dominant thoughts in this Book.
