“Two scientists traveled halfway around the world to ask a Hindu sage what he thought about their theories. When they arrived, he kindly brought them into his garden and poured them tea. Though the two small cups were full, the sage kept pouring. Tea kept overflowing and the scientists politely but awkwardly said, “Your holiness, the cups can hold no more.” The sage stopped pouring and said, “Your minds are like the cups. You know too much. Empty your minds and come back. Then we’ll talk.”
“Thirty spokes unite around the nave;
From their not-being
Arises the utility of the wheel.
Mold clay into a vessel;
From its not-being
Arises the utility of the vessel.
Cut out doors and windows in the house,
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. ”
