The sound of one hand clapping is silence. The silence refers to the essence of being which is nothingness. The concept of clapping implies that a sound is being produced by two surfaces coming into contact, even if only one of them is actually moving. We don't have to wait for both sides of a relationship to participate before bringing about beneficial change. Everything in life is in a relationship to everything else.  

As a being on earth u can’t survive alone without resources to help you survive and live. You are one clapping hand which is silent, so to make a noise you need to connect with something in order to have an effect of any kind.
