2.26 Unwavering discrimination is the means for removal

Grace

विवेकख्यातिरविप्लवा हानोपायः

viveka khyatir aviplava hanopayah

Unwavering discrimination is the means for removal.
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, 2.26

viveka = discrimination
khyatir = perception
aviplava = unwavering
hana = removal
upayah = method

This reminded me a bit of Mari Kondo and deciding to keep things in your life that spark joy.
