The objective of exile is to obfuscate the revealed dimension of Divinity, and coerce the essence of the soul to the surface. When there is no revelation, the soul cannot rely on its intellect and emotional attachments, it must turn to its essential dedication that transcends all rationality and reasonableness. Thus it is precisely the darkness of exile that elicits the deepest light of the soul.
This is mirrored in the nature of a name. On the one hand, a name is external to the person who carries it. It does not reveal the essential character of the person, it is arbitrary. On the other hand, when a person is called by their name, they can be roused from a faint, they can be jostled from their reverie to focus their entire selves toward the person who called them.
This is like the phenomena of exile, which lacks any revelation, yet simultaneously elicits the deepest part of the person.
