What happens when I feel constrained by my identity?

outcome
"When you surrender to the Whole, your identity dissolves like a river into the ocean, revealing the true freedom of choiceless awareness."
According to Osho, feeling constrained by identity arises from believing you are the doer; this breeds like/dislike, judgment, and bondage. See life as a divine play and yourself as an actor-witness. When you surrender to the Whole, preferences and choice fall away; identity dissolves like a river into the ocean, and choiceless awareness flowers as true freedom—moksha.
If you stop clinging to a fixed ‘me’ and just play your part, the tightness loosens and you feel free.
