The Waste Land is a collection of poetry providing the most up-to-date perspective with modern idealization written by TS Eliot. This anthology is an accurate guide to almost all the old traditions, myths, systems and religious pursuits by the author. This book contains the most famous contribution of modern times. These poems have traveled from psychology to the doctrines of religion. In most of the descriptions we find the erosion of strict human values and the display of basic human desires, and the display of basic human desires very useful for this epic thoughtful person full of elements like nature, God, love, illusion etc. on which I have prepared my description today.
- Expression of subconscious revolution
- Theories of sexuality
- An exploration of illness
- Significance of modern spiritual failure
- Ultimate death of civilization
- Sense of physical loss
( Where, How and Why are the Indian thoughts referred?)
In the Waste land" Eliot has presented various cultures and languages to connect the world with one universal thought. In the first four part Eliot described that how sexual perversion has overpower than spirituality of human and solution of spiritual degradation by referring the Indian culture and Upnishada.
The allusion to the Indian thought Eliot mentioned in the last part of the poem:
"Ganga was sunken, and the limps leaves
waited for rain, while the black clouds
gathered far distant, over Himvant
The jungle crouched, humped in silence."\
Then Eliot gives three 'Da'
1)Datta- to give not only charity but giving oneself for some noble cause.
2) Dayadhvam- Sympathies yourself with the sorrows and suffering of others, come out of your isolation and love into others.
3)Damyata- Self control, control over one's passion and desire.
As per my view, every religion have good thoughts and ideas but Upnishadas idea of peace does not mean just a state of No-war neither it is limited just to men or countries and communities. But it embraces the whole nature and the whole creation. LetsL see the original Shantih mantra and its translation so we can get idea about why Eliot found it suitable.
So, here we can say that Indian thoughts about peace in every universal things. We should not like vulture, keep others away from having what we actually don't need but be a giver, sympathies with other. Gandhiji also said: ''There is enough on this earth for everybody's need, but not sufficient for one's greed. We should not belivbb in materials and contemporary things that one day will destroy. In this way I think T.S Eliot might found Upnishada's thoughts of ,"Datta", "Damyata", "Dayadhvam", and "Shantih" suitable for universal peace.
