આનંદ કહે પરમાનંદા, માણસે માણસે ફેર; એક આપે સદાવ્રત, એક માગે ઘેર ઘેર.

ānaṁda kahē paramānaṁdā, māṇasē māṇasē phēra; ēka āpē sadāvrata, ēka māgē ghēra ghēra.

Literally: Anand says to Parmanand, there is a difference between man and man; one distributes free food daily, another begs from house to house.
What it means: Human fortunes and dispositions vary greatly, as some are in a position to be generous givers while others are reduced to begging.
