He believed in Superhuman ,T.S.Eliot believes in spirituality and religion.Friedrich Nietzsche's concept seems to be progressive and and foreword looking solution to problem of crisis in faith and self as well as Eliot in The waste land regressive and backward looking. T.S Eliot believe in religious and spiritual. 
2 : in the second question Eliot believes and follows the tradition for 'salvation'.Freud and Eliot they both are think differently each other.Freud believe in collecting and individual balance which should constantly take in to account man's primitive instincts. A man can learn through his experience so something in the mind which proves sense for new. According to Eliot salvation of man lies in the preservation of the culture tradition.

Datta – Giver
Dayadhvam – compassion
Damyata – Self -control.
“DA
Datta: What have we given?
My friend blood shaking my heart
The awful daring of a moment's surrender
Which an age of prudence can never retract
By this, and this only, we have existed
Which is not to be found in our obituraies
or in memories draped by the beneficient spider
Or under seals broken by the lean solicitor
In our empty rooms
DA
Dayadhvam: I have heard the key
Turn in the door once and turn once only
We think of the key, each in his prision
Thinking of the key, each confirms a prison
Only at nightfall, aetherial rumours
Revive for a moment a broken coriolanus
DA
Damyata: The boat responded
Gaily, to the hand expert with sail and oar
The sea was calm, your heart would have
responded
Gaily, when invited, beating obedient
To controlling hands
I sat upon the shore
Fishing, with the arid plain behind me
Shall I at least set my lands in order?"

At last he uses
“Shantih shantih shantih”
Eliot use Shanti Shatni Shanti ..... in the last line of the poem .
Aslo take the refrence of the river of Ganga.






Thank you .
