This concept analyzes the theme of spiritual companionship as freedom or confinement in Section 29 of the first garden (rowzeh) of Jami's Baharestan. The Sufi Abu Ali Rudbari is quoted as declaring that the narrowest of all prisons is keeping company with one's opposites (اضداد). The accompanying verse intensifies the idea: for the yearning lover (عاشق مشتاق), no confinement is more constricting than the company of strangers (اغیار) in a place devoid of any scent of union with the beloved. The passage frames spiritual affinity, not physical walls, as the true measure of liberty or imprisonment, a motif that parallels Attar's warnings against companionship with the unworthy (نااهل).
