意思
Someone who thinks they are too smart often fails.
文化背景
The ox is a sacred and vital part of the family. This proverb shows that even a valuable resource like an ox is useless if the owner lacks practical wisdom. Famous humorist Pu La Deshpande often used this proverb to describe 'intellectual' characters who were disconnected from reality. In Pune and Mumbai offices, this is used to mock 'over-engineering'—making a simple software or process too complex. Marathi parents use this to teach children that being 'clever' in arguments won't get them out of their responsibilities.
