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.

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.
