The ashes of the פָרָה אֲדֻמָה are [in] a state of שוֹב and a ‘Hamshocha’ to the very lowest places of this world. This concept of purification will become a complete reality when Moshiach comes and then the whole aspect of death will be annulled. The only remnants of death in the world (because Hashem did not create anything in His world for nothing) will be the good and the ascent.
It can be said that this is in line with that which is explained elsewhere regarding the ascent from the lower ‘Gan-Eden’ to the upper ‘Gan-Eden’ and that there needs to be a separation between them. And as it is explained in the introduction to ‘Shaar Hayichud Veho’emunah’ regarding the Possuk in Tehilim שֶׁבַּע יִפוֹל צַּדִיק וָקָם “A Tzaddik can fall seven times and rise”.
Now, in this separation there are two matters: there is a river of fire called ‘Nehar-diNur’ in which the ‘Neshomos’ are immersed on their ascent from the lower ‘Gan-Eden’ to the upper ‘Gan-Eden’. And then there is a column between the lower ‘Gan-Eden’ and the upper ‘Gan-Eden’ through which the ‘Neshomos’ ascend to the upper ‘Gan-Eden’. The difference between them is that the Nehar-diNur is the nullification of its previous ‘Mahus’ which is why it is done through a fire and a river. Whereas [by contrast] the column is just an ascent where the Neshomoh becomes incorporated within the level above which is why it is done through a column.
Similarly, in our situation. In the future there will be no death but only the good and the ascent will remain.
“So, it shall be for us”. Speedily in our days Mamosh!
