It is stated: if the Torah had been written in order, one would know every punishment and reward of every prohibition and positive commandment. Behold there is a transgression whose punishment is that one shall always be a debtor (238) — and even if one does all possible justifications and efforts, it will be of no avail at all. And one will always be a debtor. And sometimes the transgression causes that one also causes others to be debtors. And the remedy for this is repentance during expanded consciousness [gadlus hamochin] — that is, when a person experiences an illumination and expanded consciousness, then he should repent with it. For the repentance during expanded consciousness has the power to rectify this (239). 238. RAK: See Likutay Halachos, Choshen Mishpat, Laws of Collecting Debts from Orphans, section 2. 239. RAK: Likutay Moharan 117. Likutay Tinyana 5.
