Dhin ki baat kahi na jaave,
laakh karo to haath na aave 1


According to my humble understanding it means, do not tell people of the inner secrets of religion. If you reveal them you will lose them, then you will have incurred a great loss. These insights are not attained even with 100,000 physical exertions. They are given out of grace.

Hazarat Ali says in the Kalame Mowla:

jo hove sab eelam-me(n) kaamal, to been peechhaane naa kaheve baat;
apanaa bhed keese naa kahenaa, jo khudaane kaameel keetee hae zhaat;
e naseehat suno yaadaj raakho, apanaa bhed keese naa kahenaa;
bhed jeeyu(n) heeraa maannak amulakh, so murakh haath nahee denaa...............99


He who has attained perfection in knowledge, speaks [about it] only when he is asked. Do not speak of your (inner) attainment to anyone when God graces you with His essence. Listen to this advice and remember it: do not speak of your (spiritual) realization to anyone. That inner secret is precious like diamonds and rubies, do not give it away to a foolish man.
