બેઠક Bethak

કહતે હય કરતે નહીં, ભારતે ધન ભંડાર;

kahatē haya karatē nahīṁ, bhāratē dhana bhaṁḍāra;

Literally
They say but do not do, filling their treasuries with wealth;
What it means
Hypocrites who do not practice what they preach and focus only on hoarding wealth will face disgrace and divine judgment in the end.

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