Action is impersonal. Thinking, acting, doing, functioning — these all go on spontaneously. It is not that “I” am doing them, because there is no “I”. So doer-ship is a myth. The tendency to abstain from action is a mistake because it posits the separate entity who can refrain from action. So both doing and non-doing are still in reference to the assumed entity. The ultimate aim is to see that there is no actor, doer or ego at all. Then there is action without the sense of do-ership. That is egoless functioning.
There is no ego
