A faculty that’s in a vessel has to be a ‘good fit’.  The faculty and the vessel have to co-ordinate very closely.

The vessel needs to be a clear channel and not obstruct the faculty. 

The vessel [for example the hand] needs to become very accustomed to the input of the skill and inspiration. 

This is like the mashpia and makabel [mentor and mentee].  Each has to attend closely to the other.

The vessel is made of material that is relevant.  Your mind and hand will not drive a nail.  A hammer is needed.  This illustrates an inner faculty [koach pnimi]. 

By contrast a surrounding faculty has no vessels - it affects things by encompassment.  It lifts things to another reality.

The student needs to relate to what he hears from his mentor/mashpia.  

The mentor cannot just tell the student what he knows.  He has to join the student in his world.
