Individual and collective soul.

The 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 also has a soul, each its own according to its nature, tradition and culture. many individuals form a family, each family with its group consciousness (kuladharma) the grouping continues to enlarge say the many nations combining to form a human group as a whole. there are no limits to the volume or dimensions of the group. the earth has its own soul consciousness, even the sun the stars or other planets.
