The words “And Aharon fell silent” indicate that Aharon accepted the
decree of Heaven against his sons with equanimity. This is a lesson that
we can learn for all generations. One should thank Hashem for the
hardships that he experiences, just as he thanks Him for the favors.

It says “For Hashem admonishes the one He loves.” This implies that if a
person is not lacking anything, it may be a sign that Hashem does not
desire his prayers and closeness. This is illustrated by the punishment of
the Snake, who received the curse that he would be sustained by the dust
of the earth, which is readily available everywhere. This was in order that 8
the Snake should not turn to Hashem to ask Him to provide for his needs.

Hashem longs for the prayers of the tzaddikim. Therefore, He brings
suffering upon them. An example of this concept is the fact that Hashem
did not cause the vegetation to sprout immediately after they were created.
Hashem first waited for the prayers of Adam. Only after Adam prayed,
did Hashem bring the rain, so that the world would flourish.
“Moshe said to Aharon: Of this did Hashem
Hashem does not give a person a test that he is not capable of speak, saying: I will be sanctified through those
withstanding. When Hashem tested Aharon with the death of his two sons whoare closetoMe, andIwill be honored
at the Chanukat Hamishkan, he accepted it with serenity, knowing that before the entire people. And Aharon fell
the hardship testified to his sons’ greatness, and to Hashem’s great love silent”
for them and for himself. Therefore, Aharon was silent.
(Vayikra 10:3)
