બેઠક Bethak

મહેતાછને ત્યાં નિશાળીઆ જાય, કાઇ મૂર્ખ રહે ને કાઇ પંડિત થાય.

mahētāchanē tyāṁ niśāḷīā jāya, kāi mūrkha rahē nē kāi paṁḍita thāya.

Literally
Pupils go to the teacher's house; some remain fools and some become scholars.
What it means
Equal opportunity and instruction yield different results depending on an individual's own capacity and effort.
