I agree completely. I believe that it was either Ramana Maharshi or Ramakrishna who told a farmer disciple to concentrate on what he loved most ..... and it was the bull with which he spent so much time tending to his fields.
From the one thing, one can proceed to the stillness.
Your point is excellent.
