બેઠક Bethak

ચાહે પાયા પ્રેમરસ, રાખા ચાહે માન; એક મ્યાનમેં દો ખડગ, દેખ્યા સુના ન કાન.

cāhē pāyā prēmarasa, rākhā cāhē māna; ēka myānamēṁ dō khaḍaga, dēkhyā sunā na kāna.

Literally
To wish to taste the nectar of love, and also wish to maintain one's pride; two swords in one scabbard have never been seen or heard of.
What it means
True love requires complete surrender of the ego, as pride and love cannot coexist in the same person.

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