What happens when there is no goal during an awareness practice?

outcome
"When awareness drops all goals, the mind and body slow, revealing that true meditation is a state of goal-less stillness where only the present exists."
According to Osho, when awareness drops all goals, movement ceases: body and mind slow, desire and ambition fall away, and a deep relaxation settles. Future and past dissolve as projections; only the present remains. In this full stop, attention turns inward to the center - no ripple, no thought - revealing meditation itself as goal-less, unmotivated stillness and clarity.
If you stop trying to get somewhere, your mind and body calm down, and you rest peacefully in the present.
