What happens when the ego decides on choicelessness?

outcome
"True choicelessness is not a decision of the ego; it emerges when you dissolve the doer and become a witness to the dance of existence."
According to Osho, when the ego “decides” on choicelessness it merely makes another choice; the chooser cannot create choicelessness. True choicelessness arises by realizing oneness with existence, dropping doership, and becoming a witness. Then anxiety subsides, actions continue but the actor dissolves—the dance remains, the dancer is gone—and ease, bliss, and freedom from sorrow blossom.
Trying to choose “no choice” is still choosing; real peace comes when you stop being the doer and just watch life flow, like a wave letting the ocean carry it.
