How can I differentiate between nondoing and laziness, and how do I make decisions while floating?

"Laziness is dull and lifeless, while nondoing is a vibrant overflow of energy and awareness; in the space of floating, let your choices arise naturally and act without friction."
According to Osho, laziness has a negative taste—dull, sleepy, low-energy, almost dead—while nondoing tastes vibrant: energy overflows, awareness is sharp, you’re radiant yet with nowhere to go. Keep checking honestly; the mind can rationalize laziness as Zen. In floating, don’t force choices; stay alert in the energetic clarity and let direction reveal itself—then action happens spontaneously without inner friction.
If you feel heavy and sleepy it’s laziness; if you feel bright and full of energy with no rush, it’s nondoing—stay awake and let the next step show itself.
