બેઠક Bethak

જો ન કાહુકી ઈર્ષ્યા કરે, ડારે તૃષ્ણા ઘાઈ; જો પાવે તાર્મેં સુખી, સંતોષ કહીજે સોઈ.

jō na kāhukī īrṣyā karē, ḍārē tr̥ṣṇā ghāī; jō pāvē tārmēṁ sukhī, saṁtōṣa kahījē sōī.

Literally
He who envies no one, and strikes down greed; who is happy with whatever he receives, that is called contentment.
What it means
True contentment is achieved by freeing oneself from envy, conquering greed, and remaining happy with whatever one naturally obtains.
