The Baal Shem Tov taught that in Galus (exile) it is possible to acheive רוח הקדש (the Divine Spirit) even if one isn't really fit for it. This is because in heaven they aren't as paricular about to whom they will give רוח הקדש in Exile as they are in the land of Israel.
This can be compared to a king who is travelling. When he stops for the night he does not expect his quarters to be as nice as the palace in which he usually dwells. This is not a disrespect for the king. Everyone understands that he is a king on the road.
