Given below are two statements labelled Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Examine both with respect to the Yoga system and select the correct code : Assertion (A) : Pratyāhāra is the control of the senses and consists in withdrawing senses from internal objects. Reason (R) : Our senses must be checked and directed towards inner goal. Codes :
(A) is false and (R) is true
Pratyāhāra is the fifth limb of Patañjali's eightfold Yoga (aṣṭāṅga-yoga), coming after yama, niyama, āsana and prāṇāyāma and before dhāraṇā, dhyāna and samādhi.
Yoga Sūtra II.54 defines it as the senses ceasing to follow their own objects and imitating the nature of the restrained mind; that is, the senses are withdrawn from EXTERNAL objects such as sights and sounds, not from internal objects.
So the Assertion is false: it is right that pratyāhāra is control of the senses, but it wrongly says the withdrawal is from internal objects.
The Reason is true: the purpose of pratyāhāra is that the outward-going senses be checked and turned inward, towards the inner goal of concentration, so that the mind can proceed to dhāraṇā and dhyāna.
Because the Assertion is false, the options declaring it true (with or without the Reason as its explanation) are ruled out, and the remaining verdict is a false Assertion with a true Reason.
Hence, (A) is false and (R) is true.
