I read this statement in an answer: > Cittasaṁsaṭṭhā means arising together because it is described in the > same canon "idaṃ sukhaṃ imāya pītiyā sahagataṃ hoti sahajātaṃ > saṃsaṭṭhaṃ sampayuttaṃ". "sahajātaṃ saṃsaṭṭhaṃ sampayuttaṃ" in this > context is called Vevacana in VevacanaHara. Generally, the word 'saṁsaṭṭha' is translated as 'co-joined' or 'mixed', as follows: > But when they’re separated from the Teacher or a spiritual companion > in a teacher’s role, they **mix closely** with monks, nuns, laymen, and > laywomen; with rulers and their ministers, and with teachers of other > paths and their followers. > > Yato ca kho so vapakassateva satthārā, vapakassati garuṭṭhāniyehi > sabrahmacārīhi, so **saṁsaṭṭho** viharati bhikkhūhi bhikkhunīhi upāsakehi > upāsikāhi raññā rājamahāmattehi titthiyehi titthiyasāvakehi. > > > As they **mix closely**, they become intimate and loose, spending time > chatting, and so lust infects their mind. > > Tassa **saṁsaṭṭhassa** vissatthassa pākatassa bhassamanuyuttassa viharato > rāgo cittaṁ anuddhaṁseti. > > https://suttacentral.net/an6.60/en/sujato > These are the five drawbacks for a mendicant who visits families for > too long, **mixing closely** with them.” > > Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā kulūpakassa bhikkhuno ativelaṁ > kulesu **saṁsaṭṭha**ssa viharato”ti. > > https://suttacentral.net/an5.226/en/sujato > “Wisdom and consciousness— > > “Yā cāvuso, paññā yañca viññāṇaṁ— > > are these things **mixed** or separate? > > ime dhammā **saṁsaṭṭhā** udāhu visaṁsaṭṭhā? > > Feeling, perception, and consciousness— > > “Yā cāvuso, vedanā yā ca saññā yañca viññāṇaṁ— > > are these things **mixed** or separate? > > ime dhammā **saṁsaṭṭhā** udāhu visaṁsaṭṭhā? > > https://suttacentral.net/mn43/en/sujato Does 'saṁsaṭṭha' mean "arise together"? How can the terms "arise together" & "mixed" be reconciled or, otherwise, differentiated?
