Yoga
love in the 21st century and the movie Storia de una Capinera
from Franco Zefirelli
by Georgina García
This movie talks about a novice (Mary) that return home after a
long time in a convent, she met a man, felt in love with him,
then when she got back to the convent she spend a lot of time
wanting to be near that man.
She was in doubt about to be a nun, she suffered for it, she
asked God to take her apart of the feeling of love for that man,
she felt so bad, that she started to flagellate herself.
When the principal nun saw this situation, she called her
parents and asked them to take her with them, the stepmother
wasn’t agree because her daughter will marry the man Mary
loves.
When
Mary got to her limit, she escaped from the convent and go to
her stepsister house. The man Mary loves received her, it was
reining. In the stairs, Mary , who was on her knees, implore her
step sister to live with she and her husband, she asked to be
her maid, to babysit her children.
Mary realized in that moment that her stepsister was pregnant.
At some point Mary and her love get together, alone. The man
confess his love for Mary , he felt down on his knees and
embrace her .. Mary answered
“My stepsister is going to have your child, nothing is
important but the love you are given, I feel in peace now, I can
go back to the convent.” The final scene shows the novices
resting in tables, then nuns, take a purple blanket and cover
each one completely with it.
A therapist asked that what would happen with people that
believe in God and find his expectations unfulfilled.
A great yogi said in the lecture “The Self-Sensory System”
that “..females in the past century gave birth to the most
fearful, insecure, impotent, or oversexed men, and sexual
disorder was worse than ever before in the past three thousand
years… Their sexual habits were so shallow that the Akashic1
record did not even record them.”
After this comments we could say that Zefirelli said the
“love” prediction for this century. True love between human
being now is been challenged, we would have to skip that part
and see only the love is given in any situation.
The therapist question was about all this yoga and meditation
movement in our days . The answer could be that this discipline
it’s not going to save us , it is not a new religion which
people could hang his/her expectations , it is a way of life
that allow us to find love in any situation, like Mary, and that
is the matter.
There is another concept in this film that is the same in Yoga .
When nuns covered novices with purple blankets they became
nothing, in Yoga this is Shunia, when somebody became cero ,
she/he becomes everything.
1 Akashic records: Descriptions of the records assert that they
are constantly updated. |
