"Oh good man! A person may say: 'The Void co-exists with the unobstructed ‘is'. Or someone might say: 'The Void exists within a thing. It's like the fruit within a vessel'. Neither is the case. There are three kinds of co-existence, namely: 1) things made differently become one, as in the case of flying birds which gather together in a tree; 2) two things common among themselves become one, as in the case of two sheep which come into contact; 3) co-existence of pairs of those who gather to exist in one place. We say 'different things meet’. There are two kinds of differences. One is a ‘thing’ (object), and the other is the Void. If Voidness joins with the thing, this Voidness must be non-eternal. If a thing joins with the Void, the thing ceases to be one-sided (individual, uneven, asymmetrical). If there is nothing that is one-sided, it is again non-eternal."
