Association and its Detriment of Rumi's Masnavi

Masnavi has adopted a variety of approaches to express ideas some of which will be initially reviewed here. One of the main methods used is «Association» in which the author introduces new subjects in a succession of thoughts. Many books on Masnavi have discussed the advantages of this approach. However، I would like to make an effort to demonstrate how this method occasionally compromises the logical coherence of Molavi''s language and sidetracks him from the actual content of his discution to the point that in some cases، it has even led to a sort of confusion.
