לפי תורת החסידות חייב כל אדם מישראל לידע ולכוון בדעתו שהוא יחיד בעולם בבחינתו, ועדיין לא היה בעולם כדומה לו, שאילו כבר היה כמוהו בזה העולם שוב לא היה צורך בו שיבוא  ה ו א  לעולם.

מ. בובר, דרכו של אדם על פי תורת החסידות, מוסד ביאליק, עמ' 16-15

"It is the duty of every person in Israel to know and consider that he is unique in the world in his particular character and that there has never been anyone like him in the world, for if there had been someone like him, there would have been no need for him to be in the world. Every single man is  a new thing in the world and is called upon to fulfill his particularity in this world, For verily: that this is not done is the reason why the coming of the Messiah is delayed."
