After Parah Aduma comes the Parsha of Miriam. Miriam had complaints against Moshe, since he kept away from his wife Tzipora, a: כֻּשִית beauty. Why did she mention this? Klal Yisroel had the ability to stay so pure in Mitzrayim [isolated from the low Egyptians] since their wives made themselves attractive. Their actions were considered pure, as their copper mirrors were used for the Kiyor which brings purity.
Miriam was the leader of the women. We see how it was her job that the basic Gashmiyus part of life should be taken care of; this is a Shemira for Ruchaniyus. This is a women’s role; to cook and bake etc. and allow her husband to Shteig. Miriam was also the mother of Malchus Bais Dovid, while her mother Yocheved was the mother of Kehuna. “Kehuna” is Avoda and purely Ruchaniyus. “Malchus” though, is a Gashmiyus'dike concept.
Indeed, when the Yidden asked Shmuel HaNavi for a Melech, they said: “We want a Melech: כְּכָל הַּגוֹיִם like all the other nations”. Yes, the way they asked was improper. Nevertheless, the idea of “being like the other nations” does have a positive aspect. It means being a normal human before any religious considerations. בִיטּולָּּה זוֹהִי ִקיּומָּּה. And notice how Dovid was an Admoni similar to Eisav HaRasha, because the wild type of existence is needed when we start, so that eventually we have a healthy Tzaddik who overcame his Yetzer. וְּעַיִר ּפֶרֶא ָאדָּם יִּוָּלֵד (Job 11:12) The Chashuva “Adam” was born a wild beast [and this allowed him to Shteig].
Moshe didn’t like the idea of women’s mirrors being used for the holy Kiyor, but Hashem defended the motion. Being a basic healthy and happy human shouldn’t be underestimated, and is often Ikar Ha’Ikarim. We serve Hashem: בְּכָל לְּבָּבְָּך, בִשְּנֵי יְּצָּרֶיָך with BOTH the Yetzer Tov and the Yetzer Hara. For some Yidden, their mundane “ping-pong game” can be Kodesh Kodashim.
