The first thing was to bring people on to the very centre and to get there at once to get men away from the accumulation of occasional and self-directed virtues, from the self-sustained life, from self-acquired righteousness, and to bring them to face the fact of God, to realize the seriousness of God and of life, and to see God.

So, just as in spite of meteorological science, there has passed into common speech the proverbial simile 'as free as the wind, so Jesus Christ says here, 'The wind bloweth where it listeth, ... so is every one that is born of the Spirit. He passes by the intermediate link, the Spirit that is the parent of the life, and deals with the resulting life and declares that it is self-impelled and self-directed.
