‘The wasteland’ written by TS Eliot is most appreciated as well as criticized work at early decades of modern time Poet is also criticized. Concept of superhuman given by Shri Aurobindo is used by Nietzsche who confessed in his work “God is dead” gives importance to a human being. A man with will power is a spirit which can do anything. What really is needed to cultivate is the spirit of superhuman. T.S.Eliot is criticized as regressive and backward looking. Eliot has used many myths from Greek, French, Indian, Christian etc. He has made a collage of images. Eliot has used all the myth is in positive way but they are negative. Eliot has used the myth of Philomela, Tiresias, Sybil, Fisher King, Apollo etc because he wants to convey that spiritual, moral and en the spirituality is restored as the problem gets solved.
Gustav Hellstrom has its own importance in reading Wasteland from psychological approach. Elliot has opposite opinion to that of the psychology. Eliot believes in repression of desires which will help to preserve our culture and this will lead towards human salvation. Freud believes in natural instincts, all the suppressed desire in our unconscious mind should be either given free vent to let out or should be displacement otherwise those repressed desires will lead to neurotic.
Eliot has made use of many myths poem different cultures and tries to connect different religious thoughts to get the answer. In the third part of the poem, he refers to “Jain- Buddhist” philosophy especially the sermon given by Buddha. Second allusion is presented in the last part which he refers to Ganga, Brihadaranyaka-upanishad.
Datta- be a giver
Dayadhvam- compassion, sympathise, empathise
Damyata- control and repress
The poem is of a quest of a man to restore spirituality as well as solution of contemporary malice.
