Their non-arising is due to the absence of contact of the mind with the sense organs.

Just like the contact of a sense organ with an object, the contact of the mind with a sense organ is also a cause of the apprehension of smell and the like; and that [contact] cannot be simultaneous because the mind is atomic. Due to the non-simultaneity [of contacts], simultaneous cognitions do not arise, even if [knowledge] is a quality of the self. ||21
