The man who intended to become a student said to the teacher:
“More than anything else in this world, I want to be accepted onto the Path of Truth.”
The teacher answered him
“You can begin your apprenticeship only if you can first accept two conditions. First, you will have to do what you don’t want to do. Second, you will not be allowed to do what you want to do. It is “wanting” that stands between a person and the Path of Truth.
