What is the experience of being the pure, awakened Self in relation to worldly activities?

The awakened Self dances in the marketplace of life, engaging in pure play without the weight of ego or seriousness, where every action becomes a spontaneous expression of existence.

— Osho
According to Osho, the awakened Self neither escapes nor exalts worldly activity; it sees the whole marketplace as maya—pure play. Actions continue—traveling, eating, speaking—but without the burden of ego, mission, or seriousness. Praise and blame lose grip; you participate lightly and authentically, not as a parroted pose, but as spontaneous, choiceless play.

Being awake means you still do things, but you treat it all like a game and don’t cling or pretend.
