If you speak in respect of heaven, you must say something about the earth too.
What it means
Talk of heavenly things is incomplete if it ignores life on the ground. Whatever you say about the spiritual should also answer to everyday, practical realities.

The source explains it: discussions or thoughts regarding spiritual or heavenly matters should also consider earthly realities. The wording of the meaning is ours.
