This is a riddle from Alice and Wonderland......it makes you think, but ultimately has no answer.
What is the sound of one hand clapping? is a famous Buddhist Koan......the point? It has none. It is presented to a student to help him realize that thinking is not going to help him in this situation.
Jesus taught in parables for a similar reason. The point of all parables is that our human understanding and schemes and scaffolding mean nothing.....love and mercy and kindness and reliance on God are all that matter.
