"Thirty spokes unite around the nave; From their not-being (loss of their individuality) Arises the utility of the wheel. Mold clay into a vessel; From its not-being (in the vessel's hollow) Arises the utility of the vessel. Cut out doors and windows in the house (-wall), From their not-being (empty space) arises the utility of the house. Therefore by the existence of things we profit. And by the non-existence of things we are served."
