Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 Verse 58
भगवद् गीता अध्याय 2 श्लोक 58

यदा संहरते चायं कूर्मोऽङ्गानीव सर्वशः।
इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेभ्यस्तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता।।2.58।।



हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी रामसुख दास जी ( भगवद् गीता 2.58)
।।2.58।।जिस तरह कछुआ अपने अङ्गोंको सब ओरसे समेट लेता है ऐसे ही जिस कालमें यह कर्मयोगी इन्द्रियोंके विषयोंसे इन्द्रियोंको सब प्रकारसे समेट लेता (हटा लेता) है तब उसकी बुद्धि प्रतिष्ठित हो जाती है।


Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Further it is stated that when one withdraws his senses from the objects  of
the senses such as the ears from sound, the  eyes  from  sight,  the  tongue
from taste and so forth then one becomes steady  in  wisdom.  Regarding  the
effortless manner in which this withdrawal of the senses is  to  be  enacted
is indicated by the example of a turtle withdrawing  its  limbs  within  its
body.

Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Lord Krishna gives the  analogy  of  a  turtle  which  withdraws  its  limbs
inside. Similarly when one is  able  to  keep  their  senses  from  pursuing
sensual objects of mundane pleasure by withdrawing  the  senses  inside  and
who also consciously reflects upon the soul within, such a  one  is  sthita-
prajna situated in the perfect knowledge of transcendent meditation.   There
are four stages in developing  to  this  platform  each  of  which  develops
backwards from its preceding stage. The  difficulty  in  following  this  is
revealed by Lord Krishna in the next verse.
