Hunger knows no rules

When hunger comes, everything else loses its importance.

When you are hungry, even ten will fly away.

We have heard that "Hunger does not know taste". 

What is this, when you are hungry, even ten will fly away?


 What is that ten? 

Aren't you eager to know!

Wait a minute. I am coming after knowing hunger.

I mean, I am coming after reading the song of the Auvaiyar and satisfying my hunger for knowledge.


What is this? Let me think

Auvaiyar is saying something else!

What I thought was

When you are hungry, the pot will be empty

We will also roll the rice and throw it inside, right?

That is what the sage would have said when you are hungry

I thought that the sage would have said that when you are hungry, even ten will fly away


She gives a different answer.

Here is the song for you...


" Honor, family, education, truth, intelligence

Charity, penance, elevation, humility _ of honey

Lust for those who have been told about the flow of blood

All ten will fly away when hunger comes "


- Nalvazhi


What are those ten....


 1.     Honor

 2.    Clan( family)

3.     Education

 4.     Generosity 

5.     Intelligence

6.   Charity

7.      Penance

8.      Elevation, i.e. high position in society

9.     perseverance

10.  Lust


will leave us when we are hungry.

Does hunger have such power!.. Isn't it amazing!

" The belly rules the body" This is a new language

This work. All the running is for the stomach

It is because we want to eat food!

We have also experienced the cruelty of hunger.

Just remember.

When we have empty stomach, we will buy whatever we can find and eat it anywhere.

Four people will see ... How great a person I am.... What is my clan... What is my status? What is my position... What is my profession? Nothing will come to mind.

After eating well  we will look here and there.

Will anyone wait?...

What is this? 

Standing at a roadside stall...

Ugly carrying a plate in one hand...

We will feel ashamed.

When hunger subsides, our dignity slowly comes to us and smiles.


While we are hungry, where did all that 

honor and shame go and hide?

Where did the thought that I am from this clan 

hide?

Where did all my education and status

disappear?

How did my knowledge, strength, and penance disappear?

All my elevation, love, and character

have been hidden, as if hiding.

The reason for all this is the single feeling of hunger.

Before hunger, we become nothing.

Those who have experienced this will understand.

This is what the saying "When hunger comes, everything flies away" is about.

Proverb is a language of experience.

"The hunger belly has no ears."

The language of the elders who said that what they have gained through knowledge is a proverb that is said in four words.

The explanation of the proverb is wonderful.

No one other than Avvaiyar can explain the proverb “When hunger comes, the ten virtues fly away” so beautifully and simply.

I don’t think anyone else can.

Her understanding of human nature is timeless, unmatched, and deeply thought-provoking.
