બેઠક Bethak

શોભે સાના સમયમાં, વિણ સમય નહીં માન;

śōbhē sānā samayamāṁ, viṇa samaya nahīṁ māna;

Literally
It looks beautiful in its proper time, without time there is no respect;
What it means
Everything has its appropriate time and place, and actions performed out of season or inappropriately lose their value and respect.

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