The Doctrine of Maya and the Nativity of Significant Experience in the Poetry of W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden

Abstract

The Doctrine of Maya explains the significance of an experience which constitutes the substance of life for what Maya inaugurates the experience by placing it within the confines of ignorance as a part of a measure to assess the worth of a being in relation to its ability to comprehend such baffling experiences of the world. In the second place, Maya creates the logos in proposing a liberation provided the forgoing events and circumstances are understood with complete mastery. From this perspective, we have the emergence of an apparent experience that is contradictory in nature yet at the same time at the higher level there is the real experience which invariably goes on to inhere on its predecessor. In the poetry of W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden we have the growth of artistry in harmony with the Doctrine of Maya in as much as each of the poets has chosen to speak of the confusing and conflicting experience of the life at large whereas at the same time, from a great struggle accomplished by them with their personalities they could see the possibility of deliverance in the ultimate experience that has unity and bliss about it.
