CHAPTER 2 Curiosity About Action यदा संहरते चायं कूर्मोंऽग्नीङाव सर्वश:। इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेभ्यस्तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता॥58॥ [ “As a turtle pulls in its limbs, this man reins in his senses from all objects, and then he truly has a steady mind.’’ ] When a man pulls back his senses from all sides and restrains them within his mind like a turtle pulling its head and feet within its shell, his mind is steady. But it is only an analogy. As soon as the turtle knows that the danger is gone, it again expands its limbs. Does a man of steadfast wisdom also, in the same way, let his senses loose after restraining them, and resume enjoyment of worldly pleasures?
