બેઠક Bethak

ભૂત જાય વસવાથી, ને ડાગ જાય ઘસવાથી.

bhūta jāya vasavāthī, nē ḍāga jāya ghasavāthī.

Literally
A ghost leaves by living there, and a stain leaves by scrubbing.
What it means
Fears and difficulties lessen through persistence and long acquaintance.

  • ભૂતનો ભરોસો શે ?
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

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