બહેરા પાસે ગાવણું, ને મુંગા પાસે ગાલ;

bahērā pāsē gāvaṇuṁ, nē muṁgā pāsē gāla;

Literally: Singing before a deaf person and speaking before a mute.
What it means: Efforts are wasted when directed at those who cannot receive them.
The English proverb Shah set beside it: A book to a blind signifies nothing.Those who are in hell think there is no other heaven.Throw not pearls before swine.A pebble and a diamond are alike to a blind man.
