બેઠક Bethak

નરાણ કહે ભરૂચ જાતી હે, તો કહે ભરૂચ તો ઠેકાણે છે, પણ આપ જાઓ છો.

narāṇa kahē bharūca jātī hē, tō kahē bharūca tō ṭhēkāṇē chē, paṇa āpa jāō chō.

Literally
Naran says, 'Bharuch is going,' to which the reply is, 'Bharuch is in its place, but you are the one going.'
What it means
Said to correct someone who mistakenly thinks a stable institution or place is changing or disappearing, when it is actually they who are moving or failing.
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.
