આનંદ કહે પરમાનંદા, માણસે માણસે ફેર; એક ઉપરાણું કરે, એક વધારે ઝેર.

ānaṁda kahē paramānaṁdā, māṇasē māṇasē phēra; ēka uparāṇuṁ karē, ēka vadhārē jhēra.

Literally: Anand says to Parmanand, there is a difference between man and man; one takes your side, another increases the poison.
What it means: Human nature varies widely, with some people stepping up to support you in times of trouble while others only seek to worsen your misery.
