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
