Even regarding children whose service of G-d was appropriate, nevertheless, we could still inspire them to cry out [in the words of the verse], “Why should we lose out?!” from performing on an even higher level.
Call to action for every Jew In conclusion, Pesach Sheni carries an innovation in two directions: On the one hand, even someone on the lowest of spiritual levels needs to be aware that nothing is totally lost and it is always possible to correct the situation. On the other hand, even one whose conduct is as it ought to be (and any spiritual lack is merely due to his involvement in an alternative spiritual pursuit), should nevertheless take it to heart until he is truly bothered by that "lack." In other words: Even one whose divine service is perfect and without deficiencies ought to contemplate how his present perfection is deficient in comparison to the even loftier levels of perfection he could attain. This "deficiency" should bother him to the core - until he too demands, “lamah nigara?!” He will then strive to do everything possible in order to reach those higher levels of perfection, climbing ever higher.” (Ibid., p. 149 - see there at length.)
