I think Emerson is relating one of his main themes. It is the belief in the individual's ability to transcend all problems. I think modern audiences can relate to ideas like "listen to your heart" and "stay true to that which you believe". A single person can change their circumstances and even change the world. The power of the individual is the major theme at play here.
