When one feels pain from the lack of G-dly revelation in Galus even when seemingly he personally lacks nothing physically or spiritually, he accesses the essence of his soul even more than one who languishes in the most difficult of circumstances of mesiras nefesh.

A: He must "viyikchu ailecha", partner in the work of the Rebbe, and this raises his sensitivity towards the need for G-dliness to be revealed in the world.
