When illness comes, it usually follows a scientific course. In the hasid's tears we find a parallel to the message of the shofar as he understands it. But Rav Moshe understood Rosh Hashana differently. And from this perspective, the shofar is a sound of great praise and song. There is no need for the hasid to weep.
