Acharya Prashant clarifies that intellect and common affection are not opposites but actually belong to the same plane of duality and the ego. He explains that the dictionary meaning of affection relates to being influenced or diseased, and it often accompanies the intellect. The common perception that an intellectual person is dry while an emotional person is wet is a misunderstanding; both states are two sides of the same coin within the realm of the ego. A person who appears dry in one setting often seeks to be drenched in another, using dryness as a script to attract fulfillment of desires. He emphasizes that real love is distinct from affection and is a characteristic of intelligence rather than intellect. While intellect and common affection go hand in hand because they are rooted in the ego, real love belongs to a different dimension entirely. Saints like Kabir Saheb and Khusrau do not display affection, which Acharya Prashant associates with affliction and disease, but rather they embody real love. He concludes that one must distinguish between the false love of the intellect and the true love that arises from intelligence, as they never go together.
