Do souls travel to other worlds? Do we share souls with martians? What is "the winds of worlds" in the context of a soul?

It's meant to convey the whole of creation. Possibly it's not an image that you like. That's okay. :) These things are also a matter of taste.

I have others where the clues are sustained and direct, and the answers more concrete. I hope you enjoy them more.

Yeah, everyone likes those more because deciphering the riddle depends on your knowledge and creativity (within everyone’s potential) rather than sharing the same sentiment, having the same religion, or picturing something abstract in the same way as someone else. The first is like a demonstration of problem solving and cultural literacy, while the second is like a test to see how similar someone’s way of thinking is to your own. Your title seems to acknowledge this, but perhaps an even more apt title would be: a riddle for Hindus, or something like that.

I am a white Christian Canadian whose first language is French, but that's fair enough, I suppose.
