In eastern traditions, this is called "wu wei," or non-doing. If you watch, your entire life lives itself without your involvement. The correct action emerges on its own. To the ego it can be unsettling at first. In the west we call this "flow."
According to Advaita, there is no separate self/person, except as an abstraction made out of identification with various phenomena that arise in the field of consciousness. Once you see this (LSD helps), it is immediately self-evident that this has always been the case. Think Decker at the end of Blade Runner realizing he's a replicant. The person ("you") realizes they have never been anything more than a collection of phenomena.
Accepting this enables one to sit back and rest as consciousness, observing without involvement as the person's life lives itself in a perpetual flow state.
