There is a law that one who is involved in performing a mitzva is exempt from doing a different mitzva at that time. There is an interesting explanation given for this. The posuk says “you shall do the mitzvos and live by them”. This means that when we do the mitzvos we should put our entire life, being into doing the mitzva. That being the case we cannot fulfil another mitzva because our entire essence is absorbed in fulfilling the first one that we had been doing.
