Summary

This quote suggests that even the most valuable things can become detrimental when they distract or hinder us. Just like gold dust, which is considered precious, can obstruct one's vision if it gets in their eyes, valuable things or achievements can sometimes cloud our judgment or divert us from seeing things clearly. It serves as a reminder to be mindful of the potential pitfalls that can come with even the most cherished aspects of our lives, and to ensure that they don't hinder our overall perspective and understanding.
