Even as a tortoise draws in its limbs, the wise can draw in

Summary

This quote suggests that just as a tortoise has the ability to retract its limbs into its shell for protection, wise individuals have the ability to withdraw their senses and remain detached from the distractions and influences of the external world. It implies that wisdom brings the power to control and focus one's own senses, allowing for introspection, reflection, and the avoidance of unnecessary stimuli. By being able to withdraw their senses, the wise are capable of maintaining inner tranquility and clarity of thought.
