બેઠક Bethak

વીદ્વાનોથી બીજાઓને ફાયદો નહી થાય તે વીદ્વાન એક ખાલી ટેબલ ઉપર બળતી બત્તી પોતાની મેલે ઝુબઇ જાય તેવા સમજવા.

vīdvānōthī bījāōnē phāyadō nahī thāya tē vīdvāna ēka khālī ṭēbala upara baḷatī battī pōtānī mēlē jhubai jāya tēvā samajavā.

Literally
If others do not benefit from scholars, consider that scholar like a burning lamp on an empty table that extinguishes by itself.
What it means
Knowledge that is not shared or put to practical use for the benefit of others is useless.
કહેવત સમુદાય (Kahevat Samuday) · 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.
