There are two types of errors that the physical / material world causes us in life.
On the one hand, it doesn’t let him see the stumbling blocks in life. The physical world is like a garment that darkens out the light. Because of that, when we look at things – we may not see the stumbling blocks along the way – causing us to fall wherever we turn!
On the other hand – what is even worse, is that the darkness makes us perceive things differently. We can look at bad and see good, and look at good and see bad!
With all this, the Ramchal tells us, if we are serious about overcoming our challenges in life, we must look towards someone who has already overcome these challenges. Someone who can guide us along the right path in life. We can’t always know what is right because perhaps – we are still too “young” and cannot see the “wood from the trees”. We need to find someone who has already gone through the forest and who can guide us too, so that we can succeed in everything we do in life.
