બેઠક Bethak

પ્રભુતાકુ સબ કોઇ ચહે, પ્રભુકું ચહે ન કોય;

prabhutāku saba kōi cahē, prabhukuṁ cahē na kōya;

Literally
Everyone desires greatness, but no one desires the Lord;
What it means
People seek worldly power and status rather than true devotion to God.

Also said as

  • જે તુલસી પ્રભુકું ચહે, આપ હી પ્રભુતા હોય.

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
