બેઠક Bethak

જાને વાકુ બહોત હે, અત હી શીખ અસંખ;

jānē vāku bahōta hē, ata hī śīkha asaṁkha;

Literally
For the one who understands, there is much, and countless teachings;
What it means
Points out that wise people learn from subtle hints, while trying to teach the ignorant is as useless as blowing a conch to a deaf person.

Also said as

  • જાને નહીં વાકા જસુ, બહીરે આગે શંખ.

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