In Fariduddin Attar's 'Mosibat Nameh', Section 29 features an allegory about the philosopher Socrates, illustrating the virtues of self-reliance, detachment, and avoiding the burden of obligation (mennat). When a questioner asks Socrates why he walks in pain instead of using his influence with kings to get a horse, Socrates answers that he prefers carrying the physical weight of his own body over bearing the heavy burden of obligation to others. The tale emphasizes that true freedom and peace of mind (faraghat) come from independence rather than enslaving oneself to worldly favors.
