Abstract
Moulavi's Mathnavi opens with no praise to God and there is no resolution for the third brother as the protagonist of the story of Deje Housh Roba ( Enchanting Castle ) either. It seems that Moulavi considers the continuity of time as one of the most important components of the cosmos in which every single person plays his vital role and helps move this circle of life.
This issue, which looks as one of the basic issues of mysticism, has a remarkable manifestation in Moulavi's Mathnavi. The story of Pir Changi is an excellent example of this approach. It consists of two major characters who assume totally different social positions on the literal Level. However, at the deeper level, Omar and Pir Changi have strong affinities with each other. That's why they both reach to unification at the end of the story; a unification that depicts the ever going interaction between human beings and all creatures in the universe.
