બેઠક Bethak

દોલતના ધણી થવું કે વવરાય, રખવાળ થવું નહીં.

dōlatanā dhaṇī thavuṁ kē vavarāya, rakhavāḷa thavuṁ nahīṁ.

Literally
One should become the owner of wealth to spend it, not its watchman.
What it means
Wealth is meant to be used and enjoyed rather than obsessively guarded without benefit.
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.
