Sūtrātman (devanāgarī: सूत्रात्मन्) is a Sanskrit word usually translated as "thread-soul".
H. P. Blavatsky defined it as follows:
Sûtrâtman (Sk.). Lit., “the thread of spirit”; the immortal Ego, the Individuality which incarnates in men one life after the other, and upon which are strung, like beads on a string, his countless Personalities. The universal life-supporting air, Samashti prau; universal energy.[1]
