जाति न पूछो साधु की, पूछ लीजिये ज्ञान,
मोल करो तरवार का, पड़ा रहन दो म्यान।
Jati na phocho sadhu ki, phoch lejeya gyan
Mole karo talwar ka, pada rahan do mayan
Literal meaning: Never ask the cast of a gentleman, but ask about the knowledge he has. It is like you value the quality of sword and not it's cover.
