jāta na puchē sādhakī, pūcha lījīē jñāna;

Literally
Do not ask the caste of a holy man, ask instead for his wisdom.
What it means
One should value a person's knowledge and character rather than their social background or lineage.

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