Aathichoodi #1 - Aram Seyya Virumbu
Verse : aram seyya virumbu
Translation: Always do just deeds.
Meaning:
One should always yearn to do just deeds. Avvai says this in the very first verse. This shows the importance of the statement. If we really sit back and retrospect all our past actions, we would realise two things. We rarely did anything worthwhile, and did we rarely do things that was not self centered and rarely did we do things that was not within our need of society.
Avvai says we should always act based on a just decision and this should be in such a way that there is no prejudice involved in our deeds. This is based on an old tamil dage "Maratthilum aram pottruvar thamizlar" meaning even if tamils went to war they followed a just procedure of war. The protocols in war was,
1. No women will be hurt
2. No animals will be hurt
3. Only soldiers and people in the warfield will be killed.
4. War will not be declared on a state that has suffered a natural calamity
If such actions can be followed by our ancestors in a society so primitive as theirs, i am sure avvai is not very expective when she says "aram seyya virumbu". But, so as not to undermine the need for such actions in man's short life, she emphasises on it by making it her first verse
