THE WAY OF THE ACTION OF THE SOUL
A New Translation of the Tao Te Ching
by Alan Sheets and Barbara Tovey

SoulType 2, Chapter 11


Thirty spokes unite one hub.
Because of its emptiness, the wheel is useful.

Mold the clay and make a vessel.
Because of its emptiness, the vessel is useful.

Cut out windows and doors to build a room.
Because of its emptiness, the room is useful.

Benefits emerge.
Emptiness makes it useful.
