The engine is smarter than all of us....
Listen to the engine...
Try to find the reason....
I check my moves with the engine to find the purpose of something i dont understand
Should I listen to engines as a low rated player

I know that they are smarter than us obviously. But engines have a different way of thinking and positions which they may rate as equal or even better may be completely lost in a human's evaluation. Sometimes there is no definitive purpose in an engine's move. It is just better.

I never listen to engines. They give me useless advice like “don’t hang that queen!” and “stop playing the king’s gambit!” I don’t need an engine to tell me that hanging a queen is a bad idea, and I already know the king’s gambit is unsound. Sure the engine can give you some insights into where you went wrong in a particular position, but after move 10 how likely is that exact position going to come up again? Like, never that I’ll remember.
When I analyze my games, the engine always says some of my opening moves are mistakes or inaccuracies and I don't see why they are. I can tell when I make an actual mistake the worsens my position significantly, but how do I determine why something like Bd7 is better than Be6 (hypothetical situation in which this comes up)? Should I ignore the engine?
