બેઠક Bethak

તાતે તો કૌઆ ભલા, તન મન એકહી રંગ.

tātē tō kauā bhalā, tana mana ēkahī raṁga.

Literally
Therefore even a crow is better, whose body and mind are of the same color.
What it means
An honest, straightforward person of simple character is far better than a hypocrite who hides their true intentions.

ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1923) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

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