Marathi proverb: Gadhvaala gulachi chav kai? - A donkey cannot appreciate the taste of jaggery. Jase perave tase ugavate- As you sow so shall you reap.
Yes but as per saying Goli is considered as servant since slave system no more exists and Punjabis in Punjab use it as a joke nothing serious. Friends while talking to each other in a funny manner and asked for some thing generally use this line. There are hundreds of proverbs those have no meaning if you go by their literary meaning.

A Punjabi proverb says "Golli kidi te gehne kide' That means this maid-servant of yours is totally faithful to you. Even her ornaments are your property donated by you.
Goli is not a maid servant but a slave. In princely states, the 'Golis' would also be sent along with bride to groonm's place. Acharya Chatur Sen Shastri has written a very informative book on Golis. His book is titled 'Goli'.
'Goli' is not specific to Punjab. There were many Golis in Rajasthan. They served in 'Harems' of Hindu Rajput kings and Landlords (Zamindars). 'Goli' system is a very ugly chapter in our past.
Really, you are a great encyclopedia of Knowledge, Sir :)
