It isn’t enough to merely form an intention and it being good is not sufficient either especially if we do not actually carry through with our intention until the end. If we had a good intention to go to work but gave up after leaving the house and merely wandered around all day never actually going to work then we could say that we lacked infinite intention. In our Buddhist practice we must realize that this is a practice of not just this lifetime but for lifetimes to come throughout infinity. So, we as Buddhist really do need to approach our intention of practice, our intention of enlightenment as an infinite intention.
