Just to give a different perspective of the passage quoted from chAndogya 
upanishad, SrI N. S. ananta ra'ngAcArya translates the passge referenced, 
indicating that what is not 'seen' by Svetaketu is 'sUkshma', and not "SUnya". 
In other words, that which from which everything arises is to be understood as 
'sUkshma', and not as 'SUnya' or 'non-existent' in this context. The 
publication by SrI Ramakrishna Mutt, authored by 'aNNA' also gives the meaning 
roughly as "that which is suKshma and atomic in size", etc. I believe the words 
aN'imAnam' and 'aNiman evam' refer to this atomic nature of this subtle entity. 
My apologies if I have misunderstood the passage.
