 The Presumptive Compassion

Today's Business line carries an ariticle on bird-flu virus.The article 
explains that seldom human beings get affected and in the rare cases it is due 
to the proximity.

AzvAr-s due to emotional entanglement with EmperumAn have tie-ups with the 
birds. The birds have played various roles and have been viewed with different 
perspectives by our beloved apostles. Let us view some of the varous facets.

The Empathy Factor:  SvAmi Nam-Azvar due to separation from the Lord, was in an 
isolated place. The colour of AzvAr got bleached -pasalai niRam- due to the 
pangs of separation. He saw a bird nArAi. The colour of the bird is white.

AzvAr being alwyas in EmperumAn's thoughts, presumed that the bird has also 
derived this colour due to separation from the Lord. In fact, Nam-AzhvAr 
assuming his emotions to that of the bird can be termed of an empathy factor or 
deemed reverse engineering. That is, the bird flue which infects humans from 
the bird, is assumed to be reverse, when AzvAr thinks of the white colour 
similar to that of himself.

vAyum thirai vugaLum kANal maDa nArAi...nOyum payalamaiyum mEdhura emmEa pOle 
nEyum thirumAlAl nenjam kOtpattAyEa -2-1-1 of ThriuvAimozhi;

The next pAsuram also goes on in similar vein

The anRil bird which never leaves its pairs physically gets weak even during a 
very brief separation. Viewing this natural phenomenon, AzhvAr again assumes 
that this is also due the Lord's making of non-appearance. 

'kOt paTTach sindhayadhAi kUr vAya anRilEa,
..At patta emmEA pOle ,
nEyum aravaNaiyAn ..thAmam kAmuthAyEA' 2-1-2 of ThiruvAiMozhi.
