બેઠક Bethak

શેઠની શિખામણ ઝાંપા સુધી.

śēṭhanī śikhāmaṇa jhāṁpā sudhī.

Literally
The master's advice lasts as far as the gate.
What it means
It is forgotten the moment the person is out of sight.
The English proverb Shah set beside it
The master's advice goes only as far as the gate.

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