"The circle-triangle-square is Sengai's picture of the universe. The circle represents the infinite, and the infinite is at the base of all beings. But the infinite in itself is formless. We humans endowed with senses and intellect demand tangible forms. Hence, a triangle. The triangle is the beginning of all forms. Out of it first comes the square. A square is the triangle doubled. This doubling process goes on infinitely and we have the multitudinosity of things..."
