Mulamadhyamakakarika

Neither from itself nor from another,
Nor from both,
Nor without a cause,
Does anything whatever, anywhere arise.

[...]

Apart from the cause of form,
Form cannot be conceived.
Apart from form,
The cause of form is not seen.

...

Form itself without a cause
Is not possible or tenable.
Therefore, think about form, but
Do not construct theories about form.
