Stick to the course...don't veer off in a direction that you'll pay for later. Continue to the other side, with integrity intact because if you give over what's dear to you ,like your soul - what I think he's referring to as "payment", you'll be sorry. All because you were tricked into doing that thing which was out of panic at the "trouble ahead"(life being hard) you may do things or sell your soul, and regret it later.
