When a person has a heart, place has no relevance whatsoever. On the contrary, he is the “place” of the world…. This is because Godliness is in the heart, as it is written, “Rock of my heart” (Psalms 73:26). And with reference to God it is stated: “See, there is a place with Me” (Exodus 33:21)—He is the Place of the world; the world is not His place.
It follows, that it is inappropriate for someone with a Jewish heart to say that a particular place is unpleasing to him. This is because place has no relevance for him at all. On the contrary, he is the place of the world, and the world is not his place.
