聽 Parah Adumah is one of the deepest secrets in the Torah,聽 Even Shlomo who was the wisest man in creation said that he could not understand the depths of it.聽 Even though there is much that is hidden we do have some ideas for the meaning of the para aduma from the Ariza"l.聽聽
聽
聽 According to Ariza"l te Parrah Adumah represents all of the judgments of creation.聽 it is also hinted in the word Parah 驻专讛, that par gematria of 280 and the hay is another 5 the 280 are the sum of the 5 letters which are doubled letters that if we write them the end of the word it will be written differently then if they would be in the middle of the word.聽 those 5 letters are 诪谞爪驻讱. if you add up all these letters together it comes to 280 and
they are 5 letters that and with this you have the word 驻专讛.聽 red obviously also hints judgments so we see all the essence of parah aduma represents all of the judgments.聽聽
聽
聽 what do we do with the聽parah aduma? we burn it in the fire, fire also represents judgments.聽 On this, it says that the judgments are sweetened in the roots of the judgments and the parah aduma is sweetened in the fire.聽聽
聽
聽 we see that the process of sweetening the judgments is spiritually hard, therefore all those that took part in that process need to go through another process of purifications.聽 since dealing with the parah aduma they become impure.聽 meaning that those same judgments are so to speak hitting them.聽 聽the ashes of the parah aduma, which represent the sweetened judgments are mixed with water that represents chesed.聽 This combination
then has the power to purify. This is the only way we can get rid of the impurity of death.聽
聽
聽 It is brought down in the writings of the Ariza"l, were Rabbi Chaim Vital asked the Ariza"l Why were the first generations allowed to do practical kabbalah, and you have taught us that it is prohibited? (this question came up many times in their conversations, this is only one of there answers ) the Ariza"l answered that the reason they had ashes of parah aduma and then were able to purify themselves if the impurity of the dead.聽聽
聽
聽 We Pray that Eliyahu Hanavi will come soon and bring with him the ashes of para aduma and we will prepare ourselves for the highest revelation of Hashem.聽
