Students are not to be filled with knowledge by teachers...but a candle to light/inspire. Facts may change so they need to want to learn more and be open to new ideas. Light a fire and they may keep going in research.It's one thing to fill one's mind with facts and ideas, and a different one entirely to fill it with curiosity and ambition, a need to discover and learn, to take those ideas to great heights.

The mind should not be empty but filled with the fire of knowledge. It also needs that desire of knowledge to get up and running.So that way you will not be wasting your mind but filling it with knowledge.So that you can learn something and put it to the test. Also so that you can impress people with how much you know.

"a fire to be kindled". This is a metaphor, where the fire in question is our mind and the substance needed to kindle the fire is knowledge. Knowledge is a powerful source that, like energy, is never created nor destroyed, but transformed. There is a never ending supply of knowledge for us to learn in our lifetimes, just like fuel for a fire. We need to keep this fire burning by always inquiring about the world that we live in, and applying that knowledge to serve a better purpose in the world. If the fire goes out, we "freeze" and ultimately die from the domino effect of not using our brains and making illogical decisions.

"What about the first part, about the vessel?" Well the vessel does not represent our minds because the vessel starts off empty. Us as human beings come into this world with an instinct of curiosity. This instinct creates in us from young the urge to go out and find the answers to what we want to know. However, it's more than just collecting information, because that would simply fill up the vessel. What would we do if our minds were mere vessels? Nothing; for it is candidly a container to be filled. Our minds have the capacity to do much more than that. When we learn something new, it becomes a part of our daily lives. We use that knowledge to make pragmatic or erratic decisions, depending on the type of person one is. Nevertheless, the knowledge is there, and it is to be used accordingly, unlike a vessel. Hence why our minds are fires. When a fire is kindled with the necessary fuel, it serves a purpose. It creates energy, it provides warmth; and things like that are needed to survive.

Our mind isn't a mere receiver of the thoughts , which gathers them all without any practical usage or without any calculation of its own, but rather works on a complex pr
