So would it be useful to contemplate matters like doership vs free will? Of
course not - always a perspective can be found where one is "correct" and the
other isn't: perspectives belong to the realm of
opposites...
To show that it leads to nothing, how about the will to breathe? Only
noticeable when suffocating... It is a feeling and feelings are the motivators
- even for those, inclined to intellectualism.
Feelings being the motivators, it will be clear that utter disappointment with
"what the world has on offer", extreme devotion or "hopeless love" will lead to
the same: the mind will leave the habit of "chasing its tail". And as a "side
effect" but just as important, unknowingly, emotive energy will be transformed,
resulting in
Kundalini awakening.

Kundalini
All emotions are linked to body-feeling: without the ability to feel hunger,
thirst, pain etc., compassion would become a mere concept from the dictionary.
Just try to read a treatise on quantum physics when suffering from migraine -
it won't go. And the entire issue of transformation is regarding the mind-body,
as to become less and less influenced by emotions and body-feelings, without
impairment of the ability to respond to stimuli. That isn't all: the fuel for
the transformation is - emotive energy. No automatic thoughts without
feelings...
Slightly rephrasing, transformation concerns the so called "virtual sentient
entity" - it is getting stripped off... until it finally "strips off itself"...
With the sense of "I", it is called "selfish"
Without the sense of "I", nondual or "liberated" - moksha, nirvana...
And this "leaves" a fully functional sentient entity, "only" stripped from
feelings like "I and mine", fear, guilt, shame and embarrassment... And of
course, stripped from all thoughts, rooted in these feelings...
