טִלְטוּל וּנְסִיעוֹת לַדְּרָכִים

Through the corruption of rebuke and ethical instruction, through this come expulsion and wanderings (22:1).

Before you set out on a journey, give charity, and through this, there will be no delay or distress on the journey (31:4).

All the journeys and wanderings of a person are due to the corruption of faith, which is the aspect of idolatry. Sometimes, through wandering, one rectifies the blemish of faith, and then one rectifies the Divine anger in the world, and mercy is drawn into the world (40).

Through the neglect of Torah study comes exile (ibid.). Through appointing an unworthy rabbi, through this, Israel is expelled from a place of settlement where they had already settled, to places where Israel had never been, which is the aspect of expulsion from the Land of Israel. For a place where Israel has already settled is the aspect of the Land of Israel (61:2).

Even one who is a wanderer and sometimes comes to places far removed from the service of the Blessed Name, such as the houses of the wicked or even the houses of idol-worshippers and astrologers and the like, nevertheless, Israel has the power to elevate and uplift all these places to the Blessed Name. Therefore, one must do their part to draw themselves to the Blessed Name with all that they can in every place they are (Part II, 76).

When a person has a heart, no place prevents them from the service of the Blessed One, and they have no excuse to say that in a certain place it is impossible to engage in the service of G-d. For when they have a heart, all the places in the entire world are theirs (56).

On a journey, one must be careful with immersions in a mikveh, for a mikveh is effective for being saved from murderers (Chayei Moharan, Avodah 30).
