The loss of the pearl was a punishment..."The loss of the pearl was a punishment visited on those who tried to leave their station. And the Father made it clear that each man and woman is like a soldier sent by God to guard some part of the castle of the Universe. And some are in the ramparts and some far deep in the darkness of the walls. But each one must remain faithful to his post and must not go running about, else the castle is in danger from the assaults of Hell."
Everyone works together
It means that everyone in life has a purpose, regardless of how small their role may seem. We work as a unit to guard the universe and it's people. If one person doesn't do their job, everyone could be in danger.
Every role is equally important
The quote is important to the story, because it shows us the structure of the characters. Each character is equally important to the story, just in different ways. Everyone has a specific role they play, a special job that they must do, or else the whole balance of the book is thrown off. If all of the characters aren't working together to tell the different parts of the story, then the significance is lost.
Trying not to fail their job
A real life example, is the structure of our society. Many different working parts are all attempting to keep us growing and functioning together. We have soldiers, and police officers. We have teachers, and parents. We have doctors, and students. Everyone is living together in different areas and communities, trying to protect each other, and get through each and every day, without failing at their jobs.
