“For that, we must close the senses like a tortoise withdrawing its limbs into its shell, and still the mind.” “If you wish to train in meditation, you must learn to withdraw the senses like a tortoise drawing in its limbs.” “Samadhi involves "withdrawing the mind from the senses like a tortoise withdraws his legs into his shell" - these are quotes taken from articles regarding enlightenment. "Meditation is a process to pierce the veil of mind into the super-conscious state (samadhi)." As shown in the below statement from Mahabharata Consciousness is of Prakriti or Mother Nature/Shakti and yogis like to be close to Nature. Brahman - Purusha/Prakriti - Consciousness - Mind - Space - Fire - Water - Earth. - The Mahabharata. As shown in the above statement from Mahabharata, Consciousness, Mind, Space, Air, Fire, Water, Earth corresponds to the Sahasrara, Ajna, Vishudda, Anahata, Manipura, Svadhishtana, Muladhara Chakras respectively, and the five elements Space, Air, Fire, Water, Earth corresponds to five senses Hearing, Touch, Sight, Taste, Smell respectively.
