"Choicelessness arises not from a decision of the ego, but from its dissolution; it is the state where awareness simply is, free from the chains of choice and expectation."
According to Osho, the ego can never 'decide' choicelessness; that very decision is another choice, keeping the chooser intact. Choicelessness is the state that dawns only when the ego dissolves—when greed, control, and the sense of doership drop. Then dualities cease, heaven/hell are seen as projections, and awareness remains without selecting, expecting, or strategizing.
If your ego says, “I’ll stop choosing,” it’s still choosing; real choicelessness shows up only when the ego’s need to control fades away.
