Chapter 2 verse 58
“When like the tortoise, which withdraws its limbs from all sides, he withdraws his senses from the sense objects, and then his wisdom becomes steady”
Lord Krishna stresses the importance of not getting affected by the sense objects- touch, see, feel, hear and taste. A person of steady wisdom dwells in the world of sense objects without being affected by them. He eats and drinks to quench his thirst and hunger and treats it like a disease to be treated-nothing more.
The tortoise is a great guru since it literally draws inwards. The one thing we struggle to do.
