What is the relationship between the mind and action in witnessing?

In the state of witnessing, action transforms into a joyous dance, free from motives and outcomes, flowing effortlessly like a child at play.

— Osho
According to Osho, when witnessing exposes the mind’s impotence, the mind evaporates; with it, utilitarian, result‑oriented activity ceases. What remains is action—spontaneous, purposeless, and joyous—arising from overflowing energy, like a child at play. Action is poetry, not business; it needs no motive or outcome. In witnessing, life moves without calculation, questions drop, and doing becomes a natural dance.

When you truly watch, the busy mind stops, and doing happens by itself—playful, free, and happy, without trying to get anything.
