The “form” of the soul that is suitable for its immortality

When the soul attaineth the Presence of God, it will assume the form that best befitteth its immortality and is worthy of its celestial habitation. Such an existence is a contingent and not an absolute existence, inasmuch as the former is preceded by a cause, whilst the latter is independent thereof. Absolute existence is strictly confined to God, exalted be His glory. 
(Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah)
