બેઠક Bethak

આનંદ કહે પરમાનંદા, કજીઆમાં નવ જવું; ખીચડી ખાવી ગાંઠની, ને જ્યાં ત્યાં રઝળાવું.

ānaṁda kahē paramānaṁdā, kajīāmāṁ nava javuṁ; khīcaḍī khāvī gāṁṭhanī, nē jyāṁ tyāṁ rajhaḷāvuṁ.

Literally
Anand says to Parmanand, never get into a quarrel; eat khichdi from your own pocket, and wander wherever you like.
What it means
It is far better to live peacefully on one's own modest means and enjoy freedom than to get entangled in disputes.

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
