Arabic term or phrase: ما هو بسبيله مقتصرا عليه
How would you translate ما هو بسبيله مقتصرا عليه in the passage below?

إن تعليم الطلاب علمين في وقت واحد، يشغل الطلاب ويعرضهم للفشل والإحباط. وذلك لأن عقل الإنسان محدودي وغير قادر على الإحاطة بأكثر من علم في وقت واحد، وفي ذلك يقول ابن خلدون " أن لا يخلط على المتعلم علمان معاً ، فإنه حينئذ قل أن يظفر بواحد منهما لما فيه من تقسيم البال وانصرافه عن كل واحد منهما إلى تفهم الأخر فيستغلقان معاً ويستصعبان، ويعود منهما "بالخيبة، وإذا تفرغ الفكر لتعلم ما هو بسبيله مقتصراً عليه، فربما كان ذلك أجر بتحصيله.
