Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha,
Namaskaram Vikram Swami,
Regarding devareer’s query “………Experts say they need to understand normal world………Edhu normal?“, Adiyen will share from Swami’s Upanyasams with Acharya ThiruvAdi Bhalam and Velukkudi Swami’s Aasirvadham.
Honestly very simple formula,
‘1. The CREATOR of World = Only Normal One due to Boundless Kalyana Gunas,
‘2. Believers of The Creator = Termed ‘Normal’ by The Creator,
‘3. Non believers of The Creator = Termed ‘Abnormal’ by The Creator.
So the Benchmark as who is Normal and who is Abnormal is to be decided by “The Creator of the World only“.
And we know from Velukkudi Swami’s upanyasam with Acharya ThiruvAdi Bhalam that “The Creator of the World” as per Pramaanam is ONLY “Sriman NarayanA“, which negates that the “so called experts” didnot create the world and hence they don’t have authority to judge who is Normal and who is Abnormal.
However if the “so called experts” fall in type2 (believers of Creator) and not in type 3 (non believers of Creator), they what they say also becomes normal as per the Approver The Creator, however that is not the case as seen in practical world. So we have to go by the Creator’s (type1) judgement that Believers (type2) of The Creator, Swami NamAlwar or other rishis or other mahans as named by devareer are to be CONSIDERED as NORMAL and we Adiyaars also rely on judgement made by such Believers of Creator (type2) as the “so called experts” are Abnormal.
This is the Benchmark Normalcy Theory.

Reference from Swami NamAlwar’s 10.6 5th paasuram,
Where Swami “laughs at the Abnormal Samsaris (so called experts) by calling them as Naraham, since they are not aware of the True Normal CREATOR of world and they don’t know what is Normal“, but Swami prays for them as well to get Thiruvaatatru Adhikesava Perumal’s Anugraham to clear one’s own ignorance.
VaanERa vazhi tantha VaattARRAn paNi vahayE

Meaning:
Oh My Mind ! following the dictat of VishNu Dharmam,
“nAham uthsrujya Govindham anyam aarAdhayAmi bhO:” ,
adiyEn will not perform aarAdhanam for anyone except Govindhan. With practise of this vow, adiyEn has been
blessed to ascend to His Parama Padham. adiyEn has
assembled the courage to follow the way shown by
Adhi Kesavan of ThiruvAttARu and acquired the power to
laugh at the Naraham , which is SamsAra MaNDalam and all ignorant Samsaris.
adiyEn’s vinais have been destroyed.The Lord adorned
with His Sacred TuLasi garlands has transported Himself on
Garudan to rush to my side and has placed His sacred feet ,
which normally adorns the hands of Garudan , on my head
as alankAram. As for myself , adiyEn is beaming with joy
over the thought that adiyEn is about to ascend Parama Padham
through His grace.

So let’s all chant Swami’s 10.6 all paasurams with Acharya ThiruvAdi Bhalam and Velukkudi Swami’s Aasirvadham to understand what is Normal.
