Good Disease?

nOyatha vAzhvEA kuRaivaRRA selvam is the old tamil adage. The close english 
equivalent is ' Health is wealth'.

This being so, can there be a good disease?

Yes, says svAmi Nam-AzvAr.
The disease of association with the Lord,,the eagerness, the yearning for the 
Lord, the separation from EmperumAn leading to fainting of AzvAr and the 
relatives trying to find out the reason and the thOzhi describing:

"This is the most desirable disease one can think of. This disease leads to 
ultimate bliss, eternal happiness. When all our pUrvAchAryas looked for means 
to acquire such   a disease, how come you relatives are looking for ways to 
remove such a disease. it is a good disase and one should go extra mile to 
acquire this"

EDu: Kaik kUli koduthu koLLa vEANdum nOi.

All other diseases are as a result of karmic effects. Sufferings and agony are 
the characteristics.

This disease is as a result of God's Grace. Therefore, the most desired one. 

'thErpArai yAm ini enganam nAdudhum annai mEr OrppAl iv voN nudhal
vuTha nan-nOi idhu thEARinOam' 4-6-1 of TiruvAimozhi;

The friends of AZvAr -thOzhi- clarify the postion and reiterate that this is a 
welcome disease

therefore should we also not long for this
