બેઠક Bethak

સમુદ્રનું માપ થાય, કાઈના મનનું માપ થાય નહીં, અથવા પેટનું માપ થાય નહીં.

samudranuṁ māpa thāya, kāīnā mananuṁ māpa thāya nahīṁ, athavā pēṭanuṁ māpa thāya nahīṁ.

Literally
The ocean can be measured, but no one's mind or stomach can be measured.
What it means
It is impossible to truly know or satisfy the depths of human thoughts and desires.
