બેઠક Bethak

ઠીકા તોએ હેતના, ઘેડા તોએ વર્ષાદ;

ṭhīkā tōē hētanā, ghēḍā tōē varṣāda;

Literally
Even if a blow, it is of love; even if heavy, it is rain;
What it means
Actions done out of love or blessings, even if they seem harsh or overwhelming, should be accepted gracefully.

Also said as

  • સારા તોએ તરકડા, ઘેડા તોએ પ્રસાદ.
