כָּל מִי שֶׁגָּדוֹל יוֹתֵר, צָרִיךְ לְבַקֵּשׁ מְבֻקָּשׁוֹ בְּרִחוּק מָקוֹם יוֹתֵר.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
The greater the person, the farther he must go in search of what he seeks.

כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָנוּ רוֹאִין, שֶׁהַצּוֹמֵחַ חִיּוּתוֹ וּמְבֻקָּשׁוֹ סָמוּךְ לוֹ מִיָּד, כִּי הוּא צוֹמֵחַ מִן הָאָרֶץ בְּסָמוּךְ לוֹ מַמָּשׁ, וּבְהֵמָה מְבֻקָּשָׁהּ סָמוּךְ לָהּ גַם־כֵּן עַל הָאָרֶץ, אַךְ הוּא בְּרִחוּק יוֹתֵר קְצַת מִן הַצּוֹמֵחַ, כִּי הַבְּהֵמָה גְּדוֹלָה בְּמַּעֲלָה מִן הַצּוֹמֵחַ. אֲבָל בֶּן־אָדָם צָרִיךְ לְבַקֵּשׁ מְבֻקָּשׁוֹ בְּרִחוּק יוֹתֵר וְיוֹתֵר מִן הַבְּהֵמָה.

We see, for example, that plant life has what it seeks right next to it, because it grows from the ground which is literally adjacent. What an animal seeks is also on the ground, but a bit farther away than that of plant life. This is because an animal is on a higher level than plant life. A human being, however, has to go much, much farther than an animal in search of what he seeks.

וְעַל־כֵּן מֹשֶׁה רַבֵּנוּ, עָלָיו הַשָּׁלוֹם, שֶׁהָיָה גָּדוֹל בְּמַעֲלָה מְאֹד, הָיָה צָרִיךְ לְבַקֵּשׁ מְבֻקָּשׁוֹ בְּרִחוּק מָקוֹם בְּיוֹתֵר, וְעַל־כֵּן הֻצְרַךְ לְבַקֵּשׁ לוֹ אִשָּׁה מִמִּדְיָן, כִּי מְבֻקָּשׁוֹ הָיָה רָחוֹק מֵחֲמַת גְּדֻלָּתוֹ:

Thus, Moshe Rabbeinu, of blessed memory, who was on a very lofty level, had to go exceedingly far in search of what he sought. This is why he had to seek a wife in Midian. On account of his greatness, that which he sought was far away.
