Question: What is the correct definition of a soul?

Answer: The soul is the part of you that you attain.

The soul is our root where we are in complete merger with the Creator, as two forces: our receiving and His giving. This upper state is revealed to us gradually, according to 125 degrees of attainment, which Kabbalah speaks about.

The term “Kabbalah” comes from the word “receive,” i.e., to attain this upper state. Therefore the gradual revelation of our root, this ascent along 125 degrees, is what we have to do.

We will attain the truth, the only eternally existing state, our root, in which we will merge completely with the Creator, the force that created us.

By reaching this state, we will come to full similarity, equality, and equivalence to the Creator Himself and become His absolute partners in the universe.
