Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 58

Krishna said

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

yadā saṃharate cāyaṃ kūrmo'ṅgānīva sarvaśaḥindriyāṇīndriyārthebhyastasya prajñā pratiṣṭhitā

Meaning

Krishna gives an image: just as a tortoise draws its limbs into its shell, the one who can fully withdraw the senses from their objects has steady wisdom.

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण उदाहरण देते हैं: जैसे कछुआ अपने अंगों को अपने खोल में समेट लेता है, वैसे ही जो अपनी इंद्रियों को विषयों से पूरी तरह हटा लेता है, उसकी बुद्धि स्थिर है।

Practise it today

Choose one hour today to put your phone away, close extra tabs, and draw your attention inward to one task, like the tortoise.

Reflect tonight

How did your mind feel during your hour of pulling in your senses today?
