Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 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.
