जाति न पूछो साधु की, पूछ लीजिये ज्ञान ।मोल करो तरवार का, पड़ा रहन दो म्यान ॥*jāti na pūchō sādhu kī, pūcha lījiyē jñāna ।**mōla karō taravāra kā, paṛā rahana dō myāna ॥*
In plain words
Do not ask the sādhū his caste; ask him instead what he knows. Bargain for the sword, and let the scabbard lie where it is.
