individual has a soul. Likewise a collection of individuals, a group too has a
soul. When persons habitually meet together for a certain purpose, they form a
set or society and gradually tend to develop a common consciousness which is
the beginning of a soul. At school, they who read together, the class, they who
play together, the team, all who live and move together inspired by the same or
similar impulses and ideas possess a rudimentary soul. In the same way, a
bigger group, the nation has also a soul, each its own according to its nature,
tradition and culture. Even a continent has a soul. One can speak of the soul
consciousness of <st1:place>Europe</st1:place>, of <st1:place>Asia</st1:place>
or of <st1:place>Africa</st1:place>. Indeed each cell of an organism has a
consciousness of its own; it may be said to be the unit individual
consciousness. Many such cells combine to form the organism, the individual
(who in this way may be viewed as a composite or collective being). Many
individuals form the family – each family with its group consciousness (whence
the idea of <i>kuladharma, </i>the genius of the family or the tradition and
stamp of a Royal House). Many families formed the tribe, here too each with its
particular consciousness. And then families and tribes have formed the modern
nation, each one a distinct and almost a well-developed soul. The grouping
continues to enlarge and we have the many nations combining to form the human
group as a whole; humanity too has its own consciousness and its own soul.
There is no limit to the volume or dimension of the group. The earth has its
soul consciousness, even as the sun or a star or any other planet. The solar
system or a galactic system too is moved by its own secret consciousness.<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
