Excess of anything is bad.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Marathi culture, 'Mati' is often used in idioms to represent the end of something. For example, 'Mati mol' means 'worth the price of soil' (dirt cheap). The proverb aligns with Ayurvedic principles which suggest that even medicine (Aushadh) can become poison (Visha) if taken in excess. Parents frequently use this to teach children the value of 'Sanyam' (self-control), especially regarding sweets and play. The proverb reflects the farmer's relationship with rain. While rain is a blessing, 'Ativrushti' (excessive rain) is a disaster that washes away the soil.
