Simplified Meaning:
If you have an opponent or someone you are competing against, it's better to let them make mistakes without pointing them out. For example, if you're playing a game and your opponent makes a move that could lead to their loss, don't tell them. They are more likely to lose if they don't realize their mistake. This advice can be useful in many situations, like in business or sports, where letting your competitor keep making errors can give you an advantage. Instead of giving them a chance to correct their errors and do better, you can benefit from their lack of awareness. By staying quiet, you increase your chances of winning or succeeding.
