Bedeutung
Doing things too fast ruins them.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In the diamond and textile markets of Surat and Ahmedabad, 'Dhiraj' (patience) is considered a capital asset. Rushing a deal is seen as a sign of weakness. Many Gujarati dishes like 'Undhiyu' require hours of slow cooking. The proverb is a staple in the kitchen to ensure the 'Masala' doesn't burn. The proverb is often linked to stories of the 'Wise Fool' who tries to do a day's work in an hour and ends up with nothing. Even in the 'GIFT City' tech hubs, this proverb is used to warn against 'buggy' code caused by rushing features.
Use it for empathy
If a friend is stressed about a mistake they made while rushing, say this to show you understand why it happened.
Don't over-correct
Don't use this if someone is just being efficient. It's only for when speed causes trouble.

In general speech, yes, but in this specific proverb, keep it as 'Bavra'.
'Jaldi' is a Hindi loanword common in casual Gujarati. 'Utaval' is the native Gujarati word and sounds more authentic in this proverb.
