Eleventh Aphorism Lao-Tse Thirty spokes meet the hub,
but it is the emtiness between them that makes the
Essence of the wheel. From clay pots are made, but it is the emptiness inside them
that makes the
Essence of the pot. Walks with windows and doors form the house,
but it is the emptiness between them that makes the
Essence of the house. The principle: The material contains usefulness, the immaterial imparts essence.
