The concept of the "World Soul" refers to a philosophical idea that suggests a vital, animating force exists within the universe, connecting all living beings. This idea is often associated with the works of ancient philosophers like Plato and Aristotle, who viewed the World Soul as a unifying principle that gives life and purpose to the cosmos. In various spiritual and religious traditions, the World Soul is seen as a divine essence that permeates everything, linking humanity to nature and the universe. This notion can be found in Hinduism, where it is related to the concept of Brahman, the ultimate reality that underlies all existence.
