It takes two steps, but most people stop after the first one.
In India, tales of Arjuna’s incredible focus are well-known.
In one story, Guru Dronacharya was teaching archery to his students. To do that, he hung a wooden bird from a tree branch — and told the disciples that they had to aim at the bird’s eye.
He called his disciples one by one and asked them what they saw.
The first one said, “I see the bird.” Guru told him that he needed practice, and sent him back.
Then, the second one came forward. He said, “I see the birds, and the tree, and the clouds.” Guru sent him back too.
Then, it was Arjuna’s turn. Guru Dronacharya asked him, “Tell me Arjuna, what are you able to see?” Arjuna replied, “Eye of the bird, and eye of the bird only.”
“Shoot, my son!” exclaimed Guru Dronacharya.
Arjuna did, and it hit the bird’s eye.
