બેઠક Bethak

સિહ સાધકા એક મત, જીવતહીંકું ખાય;

siha sādhakā ēka mata, jīvatahīṁkuṁ khāya;

Literally
The lion and the saint have one rule: they only eat the living;
What it means
True spiritual seekers and noble souls only engage with those who are spiritually alive and active, ignoring those who are spiritually dead.
