બેઠક Bethak

મન મેરા પક્ષી ભયા, જહાં તહાં ઉડ જાય;

mana mērā pakṣī bhayā, jahāṁ tahāṁ uḍa jāya;

Literally
My mind has become a bird, it flies here and there;
What it means
Describes the restless nature of the human mind, which wanders constantly and absorbs the qualities of whatever company it keeps.

Also said as

  • જહાં જેસી સંગત કરે, તહાં તેસા ફલ ખાય.

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