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.
