બેઠક Bethak

દેખતી આંખે આંધળા થઇ કુવામાં પડવું, તે નસીબના વાંક કહાડવા.

dēkhatī āṁkhē āṁdhaḷā thai kuvāmāṁ paḍavuṁ, tē nasībanā vāṁka kahāḍavā.

Literally
To become blind with seeing eyes and fall into a well, then blame fate.
What it means
People who ignore obvious dangers and then blame destiny for their misfortune.
