બેઠક Bethak

લખતાં લહીઆ, ભણતાં છઈઆ, વાંચતા પંડિત હોય;

lakhatāṁ lahīā, bhaṇatāṁ chaīā, vāṁcatā paṁḍita hōya;

Literally
By writing one becomes a scribe, by studying a student, by reading a scholar.
What it means
One becomes what one practices.

  • લડતાં શેહીઆ નીપજે, તેનું કુળ ન પૂછે કોય.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1923) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

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