68 - Form and Void

The longer Prajnaparamita Sutra states "Apart from form there is no void; apart from void there is no form." This appears to mean that form is necessary in order that there may be void, and that void is necessary in order that there may be form.

As concepts this is evident, for void is the absence of form, and form is the absence of void, and neither part of an interdependant pair of concepts can exist, or appear to exist, without the other.

In fact, however, we may understand that neither exists - for both are objects, and the absence of on interdependant object requires the absence of the other. As subjectivity - the void of Prajna - they are one, or potential as a pair, and subjectivity objectivises both together or neither, since all objectivisation is via the skandas and dualist.
