意思
Take care of hunger before prayer.
文化背景
The Varkari tradition is known for its 'bhakti' which is very down-to-earth. They believe God is in every person and every action, including eating. In India, 'Atithi Devo Bhava' (The guest is God) is a core value. Feeding a guest before talking business is a sign of deep respect. For farmers, physical strength is their only asset. This proverb reinforces the necessity of maintaining the body to perform labor. Even in modern cities like Mumbai or Pune, this phrase is used to justify 'cutting' a meeting short for a 'Vada Pav' break.
