બેઠક Bethak

ફટ કરી કહે તો ગામ બહાર રહે, નફટ કરી કહે તો ગામમાં રહે.

phaṭa karī kahē tō gāma bahāra rahē, naphaṭa karī kahē tō gāmamāṁ rahē.

Literally
If you speak with shame, stay outside the village; if you act shameless, stay in the village.
What it means
Shameless people brazenly thrive in society, while sensitive or honest ones are cast out.
