- An up-side down vessel - This is a person who is shut to input and cannot listen. Such a person cannot gain any new ideas or concepts from nature or people
- A leaking vessel - This is a person who cannot retain knowledge. A forgetful student is not a good student!
- An impure vessel - This is a person who has misconceptions or their own ideas about reality, which creates a dirty filter through which all liberating knowledge goes through. Such a person will always remain stunted in spiritual growth because the are not willing to remove their filter to hear the knowledge as its meant to be heard, with open ears and an open mind
