Abstract :
Human issues cannot be concealed. In this transition, the schools and opinions of philosophers and psychologists have helped humans solve their problems. Dr. Frankl's logotherapy is one of the solutions to human problems. He believed that people’s efforts to find meaning in life would be their most important impetus. In his Masnavi, Molana, a poet and an educated mystic, discussed the meaning of life and logotherapy for the relief of human suffering. This study aims to analyze logotherapy in Masnavi from Molana’s perspective and that of Frankl's theory. We will see that life and its hidden pain, suffering, and death are not empty and baseless. However, we can achieve peace by perceiving their meanings, modeling their concepts, and adapting our lives to natural adversities. Furthermore, love and devotion to God a method of Molana's logotherapy. In addition, religious rituals and their symbolic and secondary concepts as well as their social and psychological functions are among the other mechanisms that he emphasized to give meaning to life. Similarly, Viktor Frankl considered God-centeredness and avoidance of absurdity to be the most important versions of logotherapy.
