બેઠક Bethak

ઓલીઆ માણસનો કાઇ વેરી નહી. ઓલીઆ ગપાટ ઓલીઆ થઇ કામ કાઢે.

ōlīā māṇasanō kāi vērī nahī. ōlīā gapāṭa ōlīā thai kāma kāḍhē.

Literally
The 'olia' (saintly/simple) man has no enemy. The 'olia' braggart gets work done by becoming 'olia'.
What it means
People often use a facade of simplicity or piety to manipulate others and achieve their goals.
કહેવત સમુદાય (Kahevat Samuday) · 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.
