"my head is in heaven, my soles are in hell

It happens in the world that one man borrows from another, be it money or other things: what is taken is called a debt, and he who takes it is the debtor. The more he borrows, the more his debt increases and the more he owes to the creditor. Similarly, when man transgresses God's commandments and sins before Him, he accumulates a debt before God and becomes His debtor.

The more divine commandments he transgresses, by sinning before his Creator, the greater burden of debt he gathers, and the more indebted he becomes to the Most High God. Human sins are called a debt to God, and sinners are the debtors, as we read in the Lord's Prayer (Our Father): “And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us” (Matthew 6:12).
