દુનીઆમાં જેહેમત ખેંચવી તે સંસાર ચલાવવા સારૂ છે; તેમ નહી હોય તો અરધી રોટલીથીબી સંતોષ મળતે.

dunīāmāṁ jēhēmata khēṁcavī tē saṁsāra calāvavā sārū chē; tēma nahī hōya tō aradhī rōṭalīthībī saṁtōṣa maḷatē.

Literally: To struggle in the world is for running the household; if it were not so, one would be satisfied with half a loaf of bread.
What it means: People work hard primarily to sustain their families, otherwise, they would live more simply.
