The Analysis of Positive Thoughts in MathnaviManavi from the Viewpoint of Psychology

The internal world of mind and soul is an issue that many mystic-like poets and psychologists of recent centuries have considered for a long time and both groups are of the same idea regarding the projection of internal states on the external world. As a branch of psychology, positive-thinking includes various notions such as optimism, self-confidence, believing, love, hope, patience against difficulties etc, all of which can be found in MolavisMathnavi in detail. The present paper which is an interdisciplinary research aims to explicate the influences and impacts of psychology and literature on each other by investigating the elements of positive psychology and comparing them with the ideas of Molana who has explored the labyrinth of human mind like a professional psychologist, especially in MathnaviManavi.
