Hare Krishna to all the devotees
All glories to srila Prabhupada
Parmatma is lord Vishnu situated in our hearts and every atom, but since nothing is without form so soul must have a form too!

Ok so basically no appropriate words to describe the soul? I can probably understand why!

An usual analogy for jiva is that of a spark. See SB 10.78.10, 11.16.11.

Ok, so basically it has no well defined structure?
I meant a structure which cannot be defined in material words maybe, also I couldn't understand what does sankuchit avastha means, I am sorry
Ok i understand, so basically our original svarup which is there in vaikuntha gets compressed and then covered by the material matter.
Thank you very much for the explanation prabhuji
Also sorry I didn't knew the meaning, you know that nowadays different kinds of language are mixed and spoken.

Very nice explaination @Gaurav Chauhan prabhu.
It is good that you brought up Sthool and Sookshma Shareera.

How does soul looks like?
Spirit soul is invisible because it is not material. Material eyes cannot look at soul. Even material mind intelligence which are subtle matter are invisible. Even air is invisible. Heat also to large extend is invisible.
so basically it has no well defined structure?
Strcuture is for gross material things. Soul doesn't need any structure.

If the soul is ' invisible ' nirakara
The word Nirakar has not been used for soul by me. The word used by me is Invisible
This word invisible is also coming from description of soul given by Sri Krsna in Bhagavad Gita
avyakto ’yam acintyo ’yam
avikāryo ’yam ucyate
tasmād evaṁ viditvainaṁ
nānuśocitum arhasi
It is said that the soul is invisible, inconceivable and immutable. Knowing this, you should not grieve for the body. ( BG 2.25)
