બેઠક Bethak

જયસી નીત હરામ પર, તયસી હર પર હોય;

jayasī nīta harāma para, tayasī hara para hōya;

Literally
If only one's devotion to God were like one's inclination towards forbidden things;
What it means
True spiritual liberation would be easily achieved if people directed the same passion toward God that they do toward worldly temptations.
