બેઠક Bethak

કંચન ત્યાગવે સેહેલ હે, સેહેજ ત્રિયાકા નેહ; માન બડાઈ ઈર્ષો, તુલસી દુર્લભ એહ.

kaṁcana tyāgavē sēhēla hē, sēhēja triyākā nēha; māna baḍāī īrṣō, tulasī durlabha ēha.

Literally
Renouncing gold is easy, as is letting go of a woman's love; but giving up pride, greatness, and jealousy is rare.
What it means
Highlights that overcoming ego, pride, and jealousy is far more difficult than renouncing material wealth and physical desires.
