આનંદ કહે પરમાનંદા, ગામડે જઈને રહેવું; બાપા બાપા સૌ કરે, દેહને બમણું લેવું.

ānaṁda kahē paramānaṁdā, gāmaḍē jaīnē rahēvuṁ; bāpā bāpā sau karē, dēhanē bamaṇuṁ lēvuṁ.

Literally: Anand says to Parmanand, go and live in a village; everyone will call you 'father, father', and you will get double for your body.
What it means: Living in a rural area brings great respect from the simple villagers and allows one to live a healthy, robust life.
