The Marathi saying “सोपं वागणं अवघड असतं” (Sopa vagna avghad asata) highlights the paradox that while simplicity in behavior seems easy, it is actually difficult to practice. It suggests that being straightforward, kind, or modest requires inner strength, patience, and self-discipline, which many struggle to maintain in complex situations. The phrase emphasizes the value of humility and simplicity in life.
