Soul is that which survives after the body dies. It is
immortal. All physical elements are subjected to annihilation.
Hence soul does not constitute of any physical element.
Many questions were asked in the ancient Hindu
texts about the nature of Parama Atama (infinite
soul, or Almighty) and Atma (soul). In the olden
days, Gurus used to put these questions to
disciples to test their knowledge.
What is the constituent material of Almighty? All
created materials are subject to decay and
annihilation, Almighty is above the influence of
decay and annihilation. He is eternal.
Then is Almighty a void? In terms of material
characteristics, Almighty is void (Soonya).
Can this lead to the logic that Almighty is not
there? No. Almighty is there. He is consciousness,
the infinite consciousness. The Atma which is a
finite piece of Almighty, according to Advaita
Vedanta - the personal consciousness. Soul was
created in the likeness of the Infinite Soul.
Since Atma is only a minute piece of Almighty, is
it subjected to annihilation? No. Atma is also
eternal.

I agree with Isabelle.
It is intangible. It is energy.
There is no way for us to know until we perish. Then, reality opens the door. The truth then cannot be denied.
