뜻
To make arrangements or accumulate resources to ensure one's well-being and stability in the future.
문화적 배경
In the Tehran Bazaar, 'bar bastan' is a mark of ultimate success. It's the point where a merchant moves from 'kasab' (earning) to 'sar-maye-dar' (capitalist). Classical poets like Saadi use the image of the 'caravan' and 'packing the load' to remind people that life is short and one must prepare for the 'final journey' (death) by doing good deeds. For many young Iranians, 'bar bastan' is synonymous with 'emigrating.' It represents the massive effort of gathering resources to start over in the West. When a guest says 'I should tie my load' (baramo bebandam), it's a polite, slightly old-fashioned way of saying 'I should head home now.'

Watch the Envy
If you say it about a rich person you don't like, it can sound like you're accusing them of being greedy.

The 'Rā' Marker
Don't forget the 'rā' (or 'o' in slang) because 'bar' is the specific object being tied.
