Topics covered: We are meant to be renewed again and again, in every single moment; We don't know that we meet every moment of life with some kind of demand; The reason that we miss the moment where renewal is taking place, where rebirth is given to us, is because we all live with demands that we don't know we live with; You're not free just because you can say we're free.You're free when you live in a nature that gives you that freedom.
