શિશ કાટ પગ તલ ધરે, તબ નીકટ પ્રેમકા સ્વાદ.

śiśa kāṭa paga tala dharē, taba nīkaṭa prēmakā svāda.

Literally: Only when one cuts off their head and places it under their feet, does the taste of love draw near.
What it means: True love demands the ultimate sacrifice of one's ego and self-interest before its sweetness can be experienced.
