This third entity that results from this combination is what runs this world. It is called mishra chetan (mixed life entity). From the perspective of the Self, this entity is the result of an illusion over the Self.
Man's Birthright To Liberation
chetan is a black hole". Once all dealings cease with the mishra chetan, then where is the difficulty? (Dadashri is referring to the tremendous problems created in the interaction between man and woman).
You should keep a safe side so that you can sit with a free mind. If the mind craves for some ice cream, give it some, so that it will allow you to sit peacefully. But mishra chetan will not let you do that. Even in satsang, it will gnaw and sulk at you.
Your being is divided in two parts: one is lifeless life (nischetan chetan, inert consciousness) and the other is pure Self (chetan: pure consciousness). You mistake the lifeless life to be the self. They are both in a mixture form, not in a compound form. If they were in a compound form they would both lose their individual properties.
The lifeless life (the body) is mechanical. Even the extemal part is mechanical. You have to turn the handle' to set the gross machinery in motion, but the inner subtle machinery has already been set in motion by you from your past life and it is on auto-pilot. You just have to add fuel (food) to it but you do not have to set it in motion. The subtle inner machinery is mechanical but when you take credit for its actions by saying 'I did it', you charge new karma and sow seeds for the next life.
The entire world believes the lifeless life to be life. It also believes that the soul is involved in all actions. The Soul cannot be in any action nor can any action be in the Soul. But how is one to realize this? The world is run by the interaction of all that is non-Self. This interaction is an effect of causes created in past life for all living entities. The Self is distinct and separate from the non-Self. If you delve deeper into this, then what runs this world is also totally separate from these two. That is all 'vibhavik guna'. Vibhavik guna means those attributes that are born out of the coming together of the Self and the non-Self (matter).
Darwin has written about the theory of evolution but it is not complete. It goes only up to a certain point. He did not know that after a human life form there could be a reversal to a lower form of life and therefore he was not able to give the complete theory. Liberation cannot be achieved from any other life form except the human form. The human life form exclusively holds the right to liberation. If one gets a human life form and is blessed to obtain the means and circumstances congenial to liberation, then his liberation will occur. But at present all human beings are in the form of nischetan chetan (lifeless life, charged by past life karma and simply discharging in this life). In other words they are all tops'.
What people refer to as 'bhava mun (causal mind) and "dravyamun' (effective mind) are really lifeless life (nishchetan chetan, mechinical atma). What the Gnani gives you, is your Pure Self (pure Chetan). Everything else is machinery - all mechanical. It is the machine that does everything but people take credit for running it by saying, 'I am the doer'. To say this is nothing but egoism. The mind is made up of many tubers. When these tubers or rhizomes bear fruits, it is the manifestation of effect. If the effect is involved with a mishra chetan then there is problem. Meaning that even when you are willing to let go, the other person will not. Whereas if it involves achetan inanimate) there will be no problem if you let go. Doctors cannot see the mind but a Gnani can. The mind is completely physical and the subconscious mind is nishchetan chetan (lifeless life).
The nischetan chetan is considered a dual (dvaita) state
