One pointed interest

A quote that made me re-evaluate.

"Now it's important to understand that those who have come to the place that that was just described- those who cannot be swayed in any way from their one-pointed interest in liberating themselves from fear and ignorance in this life have a lot in common with one who has actually succeeded (yes there are such people).

If we are truly willing now, our relationship to the whole world and everything in it changes- all things become possible. Why? Because inwardly our attention has become one-pointed. It is now focused upon a mystery in which there exists no sense of limitation whatsoever. This mystery is immeasurable, indescribable, and unknowable. But when our attention is primarily focused on the material world- on what we want from it, how we feel about it and what we think about it- all things are no longer possible because we have given our attention to that which is inherently limited. And when our attention has been given to that which is inherently limited, very little is possible. You see, there is no room for the depth that has not limit when life is lived without any knowledge or experience of a miraculous possibility- without any knowledge of that which is sacred, of that which is perfect always because that is its nature. A life that is lived without any knowledge or experience of that possibility is a life of limitation, and limitation in relationship to the freedom being spoken about is no life at all.

It is important to understand that, in the end, all we can do is want to be free more than anything else and be willing to do anything necessary in order to succeed".
