Has the Void a meaning? If so, then it is only your imagination.    Brahman is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul   is  The One Without A Second 

The Soul is Self-evident.  It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny the Soul, because It is the very essence of the one who denies It. The Soul is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. 

The Soul is not an object, as it is the formless, timeless, and spaceless subject, beyond the reach of the eyes. Hence,  the Upanishads declare: “Neti Neti—not this, not this....” This does not mean that the Soul is a negative concept or a metaphysical abstraction, a nonentity, or a void.

 The Soul is not another. It is all-full, infinite, changeless, Self-existent, Self-delight, Self-knowledge, and Self-bliss. It is the essence. It is the essence of the witness. It is the Witness, Transcendent, and Silent Witness.

For a Gnani: ~

Where is the body, where is the mind, where is the world; the void; or despair in the true Self, which is the taintless Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. They are or have become consciousness. 

One thinks there is a mind when he has thoughts, but when thoughts are not considered different from the consciousness, which is the true Self, then where is the division into, waking, dream and deep sleep, etc.

Void implies duality: the universe may not exist, but the thought of the second is there. If one knows there is a Void (emptiness/nothingness), then there is something there to be known and know. They are or have become consciousness. 

Srutis emphatically says ~  Akasavat Sarvagata Nitya i.e., like ether all-pervading and eternal. If the pot is broken the pot-ether is not in any way affected. So it is unattached (Asanga).

The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is Immortal.  The nature of the Soul is objectless consciousness.

The Soul is different from the knowable.  The Soul is beyond the unknowable also.  The Soul is incomprehensible. This does not mean that the Soul is a non-entity or void or a negative concept, or a metaphysical abstraction.  The Soul is a mass of knowledge or awareness.

The consciousness is denser than stone or platinum or gold.  The consciousness is the only real entity, the substratum for everything that exists within the dualistic illusion.

Buddha: ~ There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way... and not starting.

Sage Sankara disagrees with Buddhists who say, there is nothing - a nonentity. Sage Sri, Sankara believes there is some reality, even though things are not what they appear to be. If one knows the truth, he will know what to do to find inspiration for action.  The seeker of truth‘s subject is to know what is it that is Real.

Buddhism says:~ all things are illusory and nothing exists.  However, Advaita avers that it is not so.  It says that the universe, of course, is illusory, but there is Brahman (consciousness), that exists, forming the very substratum of all things (illusion or universe).

Sage Sankara opposed the Buddhists only, who misunderstood Buddha and became atheists. According to Sage Sankara meditation always means the critical analysis of the Self to get salvation from worldly tensions. Due to the eccentric ego of the then atheists, Sage Sankara did not go beyond this since the atheists will not accept God beyond themselves. This limitation is not due to limited knowledge of Sage  Sankara but is due to the then-existing situation of the psychology of the surrounding society.

Even Buddha kept silent about God because the society dealt by Him consisted of Purvamimamsakas, who were strong atheists. Buddha told that everything including the Self is only relatively real (Sunya). This is correct because the Self is a part of the universe, which is relatively real with respect to the absolute unimaginable God. The Buddha stopped at this point because the atheists cannot realize the existence of the unimaginable God indicated through his silence. 

The point of Buddha is that if God is non-existent, the entire creation including Self is non-existent. Sage Sankara wanted to establish the existence of the Brahman. For this purpose, He made the Atman as Brahman. He brought out the identity of Self with the consciousness and made the Atman the Brahman. Since one will not negate the existence of his Self, he will accept the existence of the Brahman, which is the Atman or Soul the innermost Self. Both Buddha and Sage Sankara kept silent about the absolute unimaginable God. The same philosophy was dealt with by them from different angles in different situations.:~Santthosh Kumaar
