Let me try a few proverbs at random and see if I remember them properly.
1. Tuchhaku ete, mudi naahin goda kachadu kete? (There's no toe-ring on your toes, still why do you stamp your feet on earth to invite others' attention?) Why do you make so much fuss to show off when you haven't actually got any thing?
2. Tulasi dui patra ru baase. (One can sense the fragrance of Tulsi even when the first two tender leaves appear on the tiny plant at the beginning.) True talent and merit of a person can be sensed even at the very early stage of his/her childhood.
3. Barsha Jeun ade, chhata sehi ade. (Turning the direction of the umbrella to save oneself, as the direction of falling rains goes on changing from time to time.) . It's a selfish move - to change your stand and principles frequently to suit the changing times and derive benefit out of it.
4. Thakura ghare kie? Na mu kadali khai nahin. (A child secretly enters the temple at midnight to eat the banana prasad kept before the god. He manages to eat the bananas. At this stage when the priest sleeping nearby hears some sound he wakes up and shouts: "Who's there?" To this the boy in his hiding foolishly comes out with an instant reply: "No sir, I haven't eaten the bananas", and thus gets caught. The priest had just asked who was there, and hadn't asked him if he had eaten the bananas; he rather didn't know that the bananas were eaten at all. But the boy unconsciously admitted the crime on his own.) The guilty person foolishly and unconsciously admits his own crime without even being asked and thus gets caught.
This much for today.
Thank you.
