Spiritual leader absorbed in anima mundi (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

imam

'spiritual leader' is the definition.
(prayer leader in Islam)

'absorbed in anima mundi' is the wordplay.
'absorbed in' indicates a hidden word.
'IMAM' is hidden in the letters of 'anima mundi'.

(Other definitions for imam that I've seen before include "Islamic prayer leader" , "Muslim prayer leader" , "Man who leads prayers in a mosque" , "Man leading prayers in a mosque" , "Islamic minister" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
