બેઠક Bethak

સુખકે ઉપર શિલ પડો, હરિ હૃદયસે જાય;

sukhakē upara śila paḍō, hari hr̥dayasē jāya;

Literally
Let a stone fall upon that happiness which makes God leave the heart;
What it means
Worldly prosperity is cursed if it leads to forgetting God, whereas adversity is a blessing if it keeps one devoted.
