I agree with you . She has NOT set herself free from the burden of being accountable to V's problem . What she has done is attempt to let go factually , but has not succeeded psychologically . Indeed its NOT her place to try and get them back together ...and indeed she should simply state her decision , and walk off . Thats what CP did .
But CP is a sanyasi . She has renounced accountability to ALL ...not just to her former lover IMV .π She has renounced accountability to even a little girl ...Devaki , who was left in the clutches of an alcoholic father to fend for herself with her own karma . She renounced accountability to her old father 's grief ...she knew very well he would perhaps die of shock upon hearing of her tragic death in the accident . IMV is door ki baat ...renouncing accountability to little Devaki's burden was far more tougher ...and If she could do that , she REALLY renounced the world ...she took SANYAS .
Sabina is NOT a sanyasi . She is very much in the common human world . Why expect this sanyasi mentality from her ?π Her story , in my opinion , shud be viewed like any other common human's story . Its her struggle with HER pain and Her Love .
Just like IMV has HIS story of HIS love and HIS pain . Its His struggle .
Not every one can be like CP and set themselves free this way . Very few people in this world will be able to come to that level where they will be able to let go of their accountability to human relationships .
For CP to come to this point ...this renunciation point , she endured terrible PAIN on every level . It was NOT just her love story with IMV that made her renounce the world . She had a bad marraige and a brutal alcoholic husband ...her life sunk to a zero level . So much so that she welcomed the accident as a release from her first life .
Sabina has NOT led that life . She has not married AT all . she has no children ...she is financially independent unlike CP . CP's financial dependency and traditional outlook of staying put in a marraige arranged by father , however bad it is by giving up protest of ANY kind led to the breaking point and her subsequent renunciation . Sabina , who is a film actress , moves in bohemian circles and HAS the capability to walk out on any situation in llife ...She has the capacity to care a fig about social norms and divorce a husband like Dali and stay like a single mother with her daughter .
CP did NOT . Sabina's financial independence and strength binds her to the world with the false sense [ spiritually speaking } that I am the Doer ...which happens with hundreds of human beings . CP 's utter helplessness freed her from this sense of Doership ...she understood that nothing is in one's hands ...simply accept all that comes ur way and walk with the flow . Paradoxically her helplessness set her free .
But Sabina who is anything but a helpless woman ...retains the sense of Doership . So does IMV , as his financial strength gives him that false ego , that he can indeed effect change .
You urself said that each one's individual experiences shape each one's thinking . When CP's experiences r vastly different from Sabina's ...why expect same attitude to life from them ?π
The commonality between the 3 women ...CP , Sabina and Rajvi is that they have men passionately in love with them , but they have opted to accept what fate ordained for them . But it ends there , this commonality . HOW they deal with this letting go process is strictly individualistic . CP and Rajvi r the types who listened to their fathers and accepted what came their way ...neither r both financially independent nor non traditional . CP's fate was bad , her husband turned out to be a first class loser ...Rajvi's hubby was good , and bearable . CP chose to run away , Rajvi found sticking on tolerable .
The mental detachment of all 3 women should not be compared in my opinion ...as their lives r vastly different . The pain levels r different ...the circumstances r different .
The only common factor is they all 3 have marvellous control and the ability to endure .
Sabina was going to go back . The card changed things . It induced a sense of guilt in her ...a sense of accountability not to V but to D . He was NOT giving that young girl a proper marraige as he was NOT over HER . A compassionate woman , she was stirred , and she decided to put things right for D .
The sense of guilt was not misplaced nor was it megalomania . It was indeed the truth ...V took zero interest in D coz he loved Sabina . He was simply not getting over her .
The sense of guilt was human . CP did away with all senses of guilt when she renounced the world ...even with the sense of guilt of abandoning Devaki .But thats not an oridinary human reaction at all .π Its happens once in a million ...expecting Sabina to have this detachment mentally is unrealistic . Even Rajvi will not have it ...she plodded in her loveless marraige for 8 years only due to her attachment to her child .
If what Sabina is doing is nothing short of sucide , what CP did with her entire life is nothing short of suicide too . Never protesting , suffering alcoholic abuse , giving up her daughter and walking out ...till she found her peace , she too voluntarily suffered .π
One day Sabina too will find her peace , . But I will not expect CP's level of detachment from her right now .
As far as her speech goes , I do NOT find her lying . She made two references in her speech about LOve as SHE comprehended it ...
MAR MITNA ...which she practically practised herself as she took a bullet literally for Vaibhav
Letting go ...which she practically , if not mentally , practised herself .
As far as Devki goes . its too early to predict that she will have the same level of detachment as her mother and will psychologically let go just like her mother . Firstly , she has nothing yet to let go of . Secondly , the sense of detachment is arrived at due to individualistic experiences , it is not inherited .ππ and Devki's life has been VERY different from CP's . She has studied in London , She is financially independent and she is in love with a man who does not return it ...unlike her mom who was a simple stay at home mom and had been in love with a man who returned her love with passionate ferocity ...IMV .
I would not be surprised if D 's way of letting go wud be entirely different than her mom's . She IS different compared to her mom in some ways ...IMV once commented on it . He told her CP did NOT have this ZID in her ...she simply accepted life as it is . You are different . IMV's words .π
Like Sabina D does have the tendency to 'set things right ' for others . Sid's painting , for instance .π
So lets wait and see .
