Do you make decisions or do things just happen around you?

Life is not something you do; it is a spontaneous happening that flows through you when you let go of the illusion of the doer.

— Osho
According to Osho, there is no individual doer; existence is an autonomous happening. He says he has never ‘done’ anything—breath, speech, gestures, even birth occur on their own. The ego is nourished by doing; shifting from doing to allowing dissolves it. Trusting the flow, you act spontaneously as awareness, free of anxiety, success/failure, and disappointment, letting life move through you without claiming authorship.

Life runs itself; relax, stay aware, and let actions happen through you instead of clinging to ‘I’m the one doing it.’
