A seeker of truth goes to a Zen Master. The seeker's head was full with ideas about the truth, life, spirituality. It was read by the The Zen Master's eyes.
The Zen master started pouring the tea in the cup, he continued to pour the tea even after the cup was full and the tea began to spill over from the cup. The seeker on seeing this pointed out to the Zen Master that cup was full and the pouring more tea was pointless.
To this the Master replied, "Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"
Indicating that unless one goes with the calm and attentive mind free from ideas, the master cannot help.
