What is the meaning of insistence?

Insistence is the ego's stubborn demand for reality to conform to its ideas; true spiritual living arises when we drop our demands and allow life to unfold with awareness and love.

— Osho
According to Osho, 'insistence' is the ego’s stubborn demand that reality conform to its ideas—clinging, rigidity, and pushing. In authentic spiritual living there is no insistence at all: one drops demands and allows life to unfold, responding with awareness rather than control. When insistence dissolves, openness, love, and intelligence flow naturally, and conflict gives way to ease and spontaneity.

Insistence means stubbornly forcing your way; Osho says let go and allow life instead of pushing.
