બેઠક Bethak

ખાધું ને દીધું તે આપણું, બાકી બધું પારકું.

khādhuṁ nē dīdhuṁ tē āpaṇuṁ, bākī badhuṁ pārakuṁ.

Literally
What we ate and what we gave away is ours, the rest belongs to others.
What it means
Only the wealth we enjoy ourselves or use for charity is truly ours, while the rest is left behind for others.
