And the Bizyonos she had to go through, like it says: ו י ר אֹה'ֹכ יֹש נוּא הֹל א הֹֹויצאֹכטֹלא Hashem saw that Leah was unloved. This is real! And notice that even during the time of the Bais Hamikdash, the Para Aduma had to be taken OUT of the Bais Hamikdash, and when the Cohen would sprinkle its blood, he aimed in the direction the Kodesh HaKodoshim. You want to become pure? Aim and focus and struggle in the right direction; this is total purity.
“Being there” is zero compared to “wanting” and “trying” to be there. And Galus means “being out in the sticks” and always aiming to Eretz Yisroel, and davening towards the direction of Yerushalayim! Look how much Torah and Mesirus Nefesh Al Kiddush Hashem took place in Galus! When Hashem needed a Kapara for Mechiras Yosef (the sale of Yosef), there was no Dor that produced 10 giants during the 800 years of two Bais Hamikdash’s.
