To close out this sugya of traveling to distant places for rectification, we will bring the words of the Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh in several places (Yisro, Behar, and elsewhere) where he teaches that when a person must go to distant places to draw out the sparks, it is because he is on a lower level. For when a person is on a loftier level, he is able to remain where he is, and the nitzotzos will come to him. The sparks from all over the world will come to him as if he is a magnet, without him needing to leave his place.
