tat pratisedha artham eka tattva abhyasah
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, 1.32

tat = that
pratisedha = counteract
artham = for
eka = one
tattva = subject
abhyasah = practice

you can counteract the obstacles in the previous sutra by concentrating on one thing. How about choosing love as the one thing today?

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💖💕
