Simplified Meaning:

This saying tells us that if we knew the exact place where something bad would happen to us, we would avoid it. Imagine if you were told that a certain street is very dangerous at night. You would choose to stay away from that street to keep yourself safe. It's the same idea here but applied to knowing where you might die. In real life, we can't know the future, but we can use this thinking to avoid risky situations. For example, if we know that smoking leads to health problems, we can choose not to smoke to avoid those problems. It teaches us to be cautious and make wise decisions to avoid trouble. By being aware of potential dangers and acting responsibly, we can lead a safer and healthier life.
