Samsara, The Feeling Begins

Saṃsāra is a Sanskrit/Pali word that means "world". It is also the concept of rebirth and "cyclicality of all life, matter, existence", a fundamental belief of most Indian religions. In short, it is the cycle of death and rebirth.

"Cycle of aimless drifting, wandering or mundane existence".
