گھر دا جوگی جوگڑا، باہر دا جوگی سِدھ

Gurmukhi

ਘਰ ਦਾ ਜੋਗੀ ਜੋਗੜਾ, ਬਾਹਰ ਦਾ ਜੋਗੀ ਸਿੱਧ

Roman

ghar da jogi jogra, baahar da jogi siddh

Meaning

The home-grown yogi is a nobody; the yogi from elsewhere is a saint.

Familiarity breeds dismissal — expertise only gets respect when it arrives from far away.

English equivalent: A prophet is never honoured in his own land.
