બેઠક Bethak

ખરી વાતમાં શાને ખાર, કરજ આપે તે શાને પાડ?

kharī vātamāṁ śānē khāra, karaja āpē tē śānē pāḍa?

Literally
Why be angry at the truth, and why feel obligated to one who lends money?
What it means
One should not take offense at honest facts, nor should one feel overly indebted to a lender who expects to be paid back.
