One aspect of reality is the possibility of Free Will which was created by God hiding His face. The other is that reality has two phases that must occur, whether we make use of our free will, or not. One is the phase of seeming disunity, and the other is the phase of revelation of Unity.
Mankind's rectification will ultimately be accomplished with the coming of Moshiach.
Adam's job was to remove the aspect of evil on the level of thought, by remaining true to his faith in God's word.
Whenever we remove the illusion of otherness from God, we reveal His absolute Unity.
The concept of Hashem 'hiding His Face' is that anyplace where we see a lack, it is a lack of God's spiritual shine. Ultimately, this lack is to be removed at every level, revealing His Yichud-Unity.
We explore the significance of the fact that the concept of Unity is different from all other aspects of God's greatness.

Being that we are finite, we can not fully understand God's perfection. Nevertheless, there is an aspect of His perfection that we can understand, which is His absolute Unity.
Hashem created the world in a finite manner, although His nature, as it were, is Infinite.
The concept of perfection, which is the goal of life, is expressed as enjoying the Presence of God. We can thus extrapolate what is considered a lack that must be filled, and what we are seeking to avoid.
