લોકોને બસ છે દેખાય, બાકીની હું ક્યાં ખોવાણી!
— Jhaverchand Meghani
Meaning

People only see what is visible. As for the rest, where did I get lost?

Explanation

This couplet beautifully captures the feeling of being seen only partially. It's like saying, "People only see what's on the surface, or just a small part of who I am." The second line, "Where did the rest of me get lost?", expresses a deep longing or a sense of bewilderment about the hidden aspects of one's personality or true self. It's a poignant reflection on how much of our inner world, our true experiences, and our complete identity remains unseen or unrecognized by others, sometimes even by ourselves. It highlights the often-lonely journey of the real self existing beyond outward appearances.
