However, none of there reasons by itself seems convincing enough. Therefore, researchers, both contemporary and those living in previous centuries, have been looking for other reasons, which considered altogether prove to be convincing enough, and can often be inferred from Mathnavi. In this article, the researcher provides a background to the discussion, presents a summary of the views and ideas of the view holder in the part, explicates Mathnavis ideas and then classifies the ideas and views taking the three speaker- address- and text- oriented approaches and then draws new conclusions this new classification, rather than forvsing on the reasons for the postponement of, mostly high lights the background, reasons and explicit and implicit mystical teachings of Mathnavi. There apply to the understanding of similar cases in Mathnavi (for examples untimely and sudden silent in Book VI and other works (like the mystics interest in keepings a low profile or keeping silent) this new classification explores a number of previously unexplored reasons and factors of delay such as the role of patience and silence, Mathnavis recommendation for silenc, literary and stylistics devices, the address’s role and his wisdom and will, will be brought to light.
