Despite the large-scale reflection on the anecdotes of wise madmen in Farsi literature, especially in the works of renowned poet, Attar Neyshapouri; the analysis of their mindsets has not taken center stage. This research intends to scientifically elaborate on the mindsets and languages of wise madmen, and to discover their logic, through analysis of the anecdotes of wise madmen in the works of Islamic authors, especially in the elegies of Attar Neyshapouri.
On this basis, with the analysis of contents of four examples of anecdotes of wise madmen, an assumption was presented for study of the mindset and its relation with the language of these wise madmen, including the usage of irony and paradox by them. This study refers to this assumption as the assumption on encounters of mindsets

Keywords: Wise madmen in the works of Attar, encounters of mindsets in Gnostics, paradox in mysticism, gist of irony in mysticism
