I know many would raise the question about its proof. But
the same could be raised for many things already proved by science. There are
so many things in this universe which is far off from human touch distance.
Take the planets or moon. Just scraps from their surface or the light rays from
them are taken into consideration to reach conclusion about their formation.
How can they be so sure that a planet is same inside as it is on the top? Science has always dismissed the presence of soul. But they could neither explain properly “Near Death Experiences”. This article tells in more details about the same.

The problem lies in understanding the nature of self, the “I”
in existence which we always feel.
But when you think rationally, you realize there has to be something inside us which is more powerful. The mysteries that surround life and death, the mild consciousness even when we are dreaming, and so many other common mental operations such as imaginations and all, they all suggest there do exist a vital force which is independent of the body.
A soul is not a theory. You can't prove it exists. However
to say "You can't prove it, so it doesn't exits!" is not correct. Absence
of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence.
People have felt something, a vibration or maybe even had an
objective experience, one where they experienced something that exceeds the
mundane, that is beyond the organic limitations of the body, a level of
consciousness that far exceeds what they are at this level. One could say that
the Soul is the source of their consciousness. Consciousness is not limited to
the body, one’s consciousness exist a part from the body. We have different
levels of consciousness, your Soul is the Source of what you are in this world,
it represents the Real you. Soul is our Immortal Essence that connects and
communicates with all other life. It is the real me in the sense of my identity
but not my personality because I am playing a specific role that is learning
and evolving. Eventually, through all the decision-making and learning, my
personality will reflect my true essence of Love and Light.
In Gita there the Lord tells us about soul.
Bhagavat Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 17.
avinasi tu tad viddhi
yena sarvam idam tatam
vinasam avyayasyasya
na kascit kartum arhati
Meaning: Know that which pervades the entire body is
indestructible. No one is able to destroy the imperishable soul.
This is again confirmed in our upnishad.
balagra-sata-bhagasya satadha kalpitasya ca,
bhago jivah sa vijneyah sa canantyaya kalpate.
Meaning: When the upper point of a hair is divided into
one hundred parts and again each of such parts is further divided into one
hundred parts, each such part is the measurement of the dimension of the spirit
soul.
The same verse as stated in Upnishad is explained in
Bhagavatam.
kesagra-sata-bhagasya satamsah sadrsatmakah
jivah suksma-svarupo 'yam sankhyatito hi cit-kanah.
Meaning: There are innumerable particles of spiritual
atoms, which are measured as one ten-thousandth of the upper portion of the
hair.
The constitution of the atomic soul is admitted in all
Vedic literatures, and it is also actually felt in the practical experience of
man at different times. The influence of the atomic soul can be spread all over
a particular body. According to the Mundaka Upanisad, this atomic soul is
situated in the heart of every living entity. The individual atomic soul is there
in the heart as per our vedic literature. Thus all the energies of bodily
movement are emanating from this part of the body. Medical sciences also admit
that the heart is the seat of all energies of body.
