બેઠક Bethak

ઓડે અચકાઈ જવાય, વિચારી પગ ન ભરાય તો.

ōḍē acakāī javāya, vicārī paga na bharāya tō.

Literally
One gets trapped at the boundary if steps are taken without thinking.
What it means
Acting without foresight leads to unforeseen obstacles and embarrassment.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet
