બેઠક Bethak

ભૂલ કબુલ કીજીએ, ચાલે નહીં ચતુરાઈ;

bhūla kabula kījīē, cālē nahīṁ caturāī;

Literally
Accept your mistake, cleverness will not work;
What it means
It is best to admit one's mistakes honestly, as trying to cover them up with cleverness only leads to committing many more errors.

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