બેઠક Bethak

ખરી વાતમાં શાના ખાર, કરજ આપે તે શાના પાડ?

kharī vātamāṁ śānā khāra, karaja āpē tē śānā pāḍa?

Literally
Why take offense at the truth, and why feel obligated to one who lends money?
What it means
Truth should not cause resentment, nor should loaning money at interest be viewed as a favor.

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