abhyasa vairagya abhyam tan nirodah
Repeated practice and aligning with what is settles thoughts
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, 1.12
abhyasa = practice, repetition
vairagya = aligning with what is
abhyam = together
tan = they
nirodah = supress, restrain
This could be interpreted in so many ways.
I quite like the idea that it means take repeated action towards what you think you want, but without attachment to the result of the action. While trusting that even if it doesn’t work out the way you hoped, it somehow brought you closer to what you ultimately want.
