It means that if your opponent offers you a pawn (or more) in order to get
extra play, then the only way to refute this is to accept the pawn even
though there may be simple ways to equalise.

More probably, it may be the only way to play for a win, by creating an
unbalanced position, even if the offered gambit is quite sound.

Like all "golden rules" in chess, it is true in many, but not all cases.
