બેઠક Bethak

નારાયણ નિજ હિયમેં, અપના દોષ નિહાર; તો પીછે તું ઓરકા, અવગુણ ભલે વિચાર.

nārāyaṇa nija hiyamēṁ, apanā dōṣa nihāra; tō pīchē tuṁ ōrakā, avaguṇa bhalē vicāra.

Literally
O Narayana, look at your own faults in your heart first; only then may you consider the vices of others.
What it means
One should self-reflect and correct their own flaws before criticizing the shortcomings of others.
