Q.IX.18.3 A.IX.18.3
Which afflictions cannot occur together?
Only one of staying/resting / roaming can occur at a time; i.e. they cannot occur together. Similarly hot and cold cannot Occur simultaneously i.e. either hot or cold can occur at any one time.
Q.IX.18.4 A.IX.18.4
How can one to nineteen afflictions occur simultaneously in a living being?
Only one of staying/resting / roaming can occur at a time; and hot and cold cannot occur simultaneously i.e. either hot or cold can occur at any one time. Thus we find two out of these five afflictions can occur simultaneously leaving nineteen (22-3 =19) afflictions which can occur simultaneously.
High intellect and lack of knowledge are also contradictions and should not occur simultaneously. Is it therefore impossible for these to occur simultaneously?
No; as high intellect affliction is caused by scriptural knowledge while lack of knowledge is caused by clairvoyance, telepathy and omniscience. Therefore there is no mutual contradiction between high intellect and lack of knowledge afflictions.
