Like stopping pedaling a bike: you rest as pure awareness, and life keeps rolling by itself without making new karma until it naturally stops.
From the Discourses
Passages where Osho speaks to this question — each links to the complete discourse.
Another friend has asked: if it is true that I come to rest in non-doing, settle into the Purusha, stop in the witnessing within my consciousness—then, as Krishna says, whatever conduct then occurs carries neither loss nor gain, no sin and no virtue. That friend has asked: when all my wanting has fallen, desire has dissolved, and when I have known my Purusha, then how will any conduct happen at all? When I have come to rest in my soul, how will any conduct happen?
This is worth thinking about. This question will arise, because all the conduct we know is born of desire. You walk because there is somewhere to reach. If someone says there is nowhere to reach—then walk as much as you like—you will say, Why would we walk? If walking has no meaning, no purpose, no reason, why walk? We are not mad to walk without cause when there is nowhere to get to—no urge, no desire, no destination. We act out of some craving. So the friend’s question is perfectly valid: when craving itself is gone, and it is understood that action is just an acting-out; when it is clearly seen that there is nothing to attain and nowhere to arrive—then what does Krishna mean by saying, “Let whatever conduct happen; then there will be neither rebirth nor any karmic result of conduct”? Why would conduct happen at all? This…
When no desire arises for objects worthy of being enjoyed, know this as the limit of nonattachment. When no I-ness arises, know this as the limit of knowing.
WHEN THE DISSOLVED DESIRES DO NOT ARISE BACK AGAIN, THIS IS THE LIMIT OF RELAXEDNESS, AND SUCH A STHITPRAGYA, A SEEKER, STABLE IN WISDOM, EVER REMAINS IN BLISS. HE WHOSE SELF IS ABSORBED ONLY IN BRAHMA, THE ULTIMATE REALITY, REMAINS DESIRELESS AND ACTIONLESS. WHEN PURIFIED BY ITS ONENESS WITH BRAHMA AND DROWNED IN THIS ONE SINGLE RAPTURE, THE ACTIVITIES OF MIND ARE CHOICELESS AND REMAIN ONLY AS THE CONSCIOUSNESS, THEN IT IS CALLED PRAGYA, THE WISDOM. HE WHO ALWAYS HAS SUCH A PRAGYA IS CALLED JIVANAMUKTA, THE ONE LIBERATED WHILE LIVING. ONE WHO HAS NO I-NESS FOR HIS BODY AND THE SENSES, AND NO MY-NESS FOR THE OTHER THINGS, IS A JIVANAMUKTA, THE ONE LIBERATED WHILE LIVING. WHEN NO DESIRE ARISES FOR OBJECTS WORTHY OF BEING ENJOYED, THEN KNOW THIS AS THE LIMIT OF NONATTACHMENT. WHEN NO I-NESS ARISES, KNOW THIS AS THE LIMIT OF KNOWING. People come to me…
A friend has asked, Osho, if all human beings become non-doers, accept the Gita’s teaching, then what juice would be left in life and in the world?
What juice is there in life right now? Right now you are doers, contrary to the Gita—what juice is there in life? And if life is already juicy, then what need is there to read the Gita? What need to hear it? If life is already juicy, why even raise the question of religion? Why talk of God, liberation, meditation, samadhi? If there is juice in life, the matter is finished. Juice itself is God. Then nothing remains to be done. Then become even more of a doer so that you get even more juice. Plunge deeper into the world so that you find deeper sources of juice. And if, by being a doer, you are already getting juice, then offer the Gita and the rest into the fire. There is no need. And do not listen to Krishna and the others—otherwise they will destroy your juice. You are in…
He said: I am doing nothing. You have recognized rightly—I am trying somehow to do something, because without doing, the mind gets very frightened. And how long can one sleep? If you think about yourself, you will find the same condition—something or other. If everything were arranged for you for three months and you were told: sit empty for three months, you would say: I’ll jump from the roof, hang myself. Three months, you say? Three hours are very difficult! Those imprisoned do not suffer from the jail itself. The real suffering is from becoming without work. That is why in prison people write commentaries on the Gita, compose The Secret of the Gita—God knows what all they do. Something is needed to do. People in prison read books, write books. Some work—emptiness is very hard. And one who cannot be empty cannot enter meditation.
Only a person free from holding onto the ego attains to self-nature. Therefore, becoming spotlessly clean like the full moon, one becomes ever blissful and self-luminous.
ON CESSATION OF THE SENSE OF DOING, ALL ANXIETIES CEASE. ON CESSATION OF THE ANXIETIES, ALL DESIRES CEASE. THE CESSATION OF DESIRES IS EMANCIPATION -- AND THIS IS CALLED JEEVANAMUKTI, LIBERATION WHILE LIVING. SEEING ALL, EVERYWHERE, IN EVERY DIRECTION, AS BRAHMA, THE ABSOLUTE REALITY -- ON THE RIPENING OF THE FEELING OF SUCH GOODWILL DO DESIRES CEASE. NEVER BE NEGLIGENT OF YOUR ALLEGIANCE TO BRAHMA, THE ABSOLUTE REALITY, BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY DEATH -- SAY THE ONES WHO ARE WELL-ROOTED IN BRAHMA. EVEN IF SHIFTED ASIDE, THE ALGAE DO NOT LOSE TIME IN COVERING THE WATER AGAIN. SIMILARLY, EVEN IF A WISE MAN SWERVES FROM HIS ALLEGIANCE TO BRAHMA EVEN FOR A LITTLE WHILE, ILLUSIONS COVER HIM. Our real center is an emperor; our soul is sheer bliss and a treasure. But this 'I' is a false ditch where, however much we may dig, we will find no treasures…
