બાવા વાછરૂ વાળશે ? તો કહે, બાપનાં નથી વાળ્યાં તો તારાં શું વાળશે ?

bāvā vācharū vāḷaśē ? tō kahē, bāpanāṁ nathī vāḷyāṁ tō tārāṁ śuṁ vāḷaśē ?

Literally: Will the ascetic round up the calves? They say, he didn't round up his father's, so why would he round up yours?
What it means: Someone who has never helped or worked for their own family cannot be expected to do favors for strangers.
