બેઠક Bethak

જાય ત્યારે નાહા, જઈશું ત્યારે નાહીશું;

jāya tyārē nāhā, jaīśuṁ tyārē nāhīśuṁ;

Literally
When leaving we bathed, when we go we will bathe; servant Dwarka says, we will wash hands and feet and eat.
What it means
Carefree people live in the moment and refuse to worry about future needs until they arise.
