Simplified Meaning:
If you get involved in the work or problems of people who are very powerful or knowledgeable, you might end up in trouble because they can be tricky and easily upset. Imagine you are in a new job and you interfere with what your experienced colleague is doing without understanding it fully. They might not like it and it could cause problems for you. It’s better to leave certain things to the experts and not interfere, especially if you don’t know much about it. This advice suggests caution and respect for people who know what they’re doing, to avoid negative consequences. Instead, focus on your tasks and only offer help if asked or if you are sure you can be of assistance without causing issues.
