બેઠક Bethak

ચારણીના ગુણ કરવા લાગ, સુપડાના ગુણ ગ્રહવા ભાગ.

cāraṇīnā guṇa karavā lāga, supaḍānā guṇa grahavā bhāga.

Literally
Begin to adopt the qualities of a sieve, and hasten to acquire the qualities of a winnowing basket.
What it means
One should learn to filter out the bad and retain only the good, just as a sieve and winnowing basket separate chaff from grain.
