1.305

夫以名求物,物無當名之實;以物求名,名無得物之功。物無當名之實,非物也;名無得物之功,非名也。

Now, seeking a thing by means of a name, the thing has no reality corresponding to the name; seeking a name by means of a thing, the name has no efficacy of obtaining the thing. When a thing has no reality corresponding to the name, it is not a thing; when a name has no efficacy of obtaining the thing, it is not a name.
