I think that given the many references of "void within the void" that there may be a mistake in the english translation.

Perhaps it should be;

"I keep visualising that Absolute Void Brahma which is the void within the void."

This is keeping with the other like quotes found in the book, but your observation of inaccessiable, ageless and immortal does seem to suggest a third void.

Where do you bring nothingness from, which could be a stage of void?

"Visualise", I think, means "seeing" or "experienceing", and is the awkward way in which Ashoke Chatterjee translates into english. I do not think it actually means active visualization.
