This depends upon the personality, sense of time and identifying the position and function of the persona in this matrix. This is essentially an interpretation of the ideas and interpretations given by Eliot. Although there are lots of contradictions and controversies about it, yet his ideas are no less deserving for a critical research upon itself. The idea of time from individualistic viewpoint is also interesting as it breaks many conventional methods of interpretation. Besides, intense spiritual involvement of psyche at the midst of dialectics of the realities of the world is also well nigh indisputable.

Religion is a belief which frames itself into the camouflage of age old rites and rituals, aided by the myths and legendary sustenance about God, demons or any supra-human power that man is afraid of. In the Jungian term the "Collective Unconscious" of any community of men, germinates and strengthens the myths. The rites compel people to submit themselves. Those rituals gradually become the apparatus of obedience and subjugation to that regional, ethnic or national 'God' and these man-made rites become the root of the multiplicities of observing, worshipping and celebrating the particular holy being. Lord Jagannatha at Puri is one of the most famous deities in India. The institution at which He is worshipped or the holy 'darshan' of the God is found is the Nilmadhav Temple which has not only been a popular place but also has become one of the busiest tourist spots in India. In the Temple Hindu religious orthodoxy is autocratically ruling all over and a dictatorship of the priestly class looms large. These priests have an intra-class conflict among themselves on the issues of myth making, ritualizing and the administrative manipulation. A hierarchic power structure has been formed in this temple over the sanction of a particular class of Brahmins who can only create and perform the rites and the 'lower Brahmins' are left as 'others'. The class of orthodox Brahmins were the most superior class in Indian society while in this temple there are intra-Brahmin disagreement in terms of the rites and rituals they perform and here even the descendants of nominal kingship of Orissa too is subordinate to the priestly class. Thus, such a power-'Dispositif' comes in the form of ritual. This not only lets them be privileged into the temple ground but the State Government also aids and employs them. Ritual is the all-pervasive universal course of action into the sphere of celebrating religion in a blindly believable ground. It takes the opportunity of human weakness, religious heritage, age-old values and collective urge of being under the belief of getting superintended by a hegemonic meta-logical power. Foucault claims that belief system gain momentum (and hence power) as more people come to accept the particular views associated with that belief system as 'common knowledge' or hegemony. Puri is originally into an underdeveloped, orthodox, patriarchal and feudal set up into which it was easy to gain a platform for a God who could be the only hope for the rustic and underprivileged people of that area. The collective blind faith of people started believing on the few intellectuals present in the society and these intellectual people were none other than the Brahmins who brought forth thousand rituals to the aboriginal deity 'Daru-Brahma' which means the 'Wisdom of the Woods' ('Daru'= wood and 'Brahma'= wisdom) and therefore it was nothing but a God of nature which was worshipped by the tribal people.
