**Verse 10:**
The one who is not receptive to the meaning given by the Guru as a blessing, what is the fault of the Guru? Just as a camel, who eats thorns, will not eat grapes even when they are placed before him, so too, the fault lies not with the Guru.
**Verse 11:**
Those who, due to their lack of receptivity, associate with the common people, do not have any affection for the wise. Just as crows, who are nourished by eating excrement, will not be interested in eating sweet food, no matter how much they are forced.
**Verse 12:**
The person who, due to his lack of receptivity, does not apply his intellect to the right (scriptural) reasoning, but instead forces reasoning into his own preconceived notions, is like someone who places a pot to collect water from a mirage. He becomes the object of ridicule for everyone.
