Being Explicit: Seek Spiritual Harmony

 Deliberately match your physical reality to your spiritual reality. Close the gap using intentional effort, rather than waiting for the spiritual to come to you. 

 If Gnon has to come in there after you, he's going to make it hurt. If you kick the can you run up a bigger spiritual tab, plus kicking the can itself takes effort. The bigger the delta between spiritual reality and physical reality, and the longer it has existed, the stronger the attractive force. With spiritual liabilities, it's impossible to pay down the all the interest unless you pay down the capital.

 The spiritual isn't the one that's going to get adjusted to match, unless it's you yourself working directly to change your spiritual reality.

 It's just way easier the other way around. Accept your lumps while they're still small and cute.

 More importantly, it encourages you to have good spiritual hygeine. If closing the gap is a given, then you are motivated to make the spiritual into something you want to close the gap with. I often barely have time to worry about spiritual debts, because I'm too busy selling spiritual loans to take out any debts. 

 Don't run up a debt with God. Make God run up a debt with you.
 Even in this case, it's still not the spiritual that's going to get adjusted to match.
