Well, the Kaaba is, of course, veiled and it's non

00:00:04 --> 00:00:08

representational, and it's mysterious. Everybody has a sense

00:00:08 --> 00:00:13

of the mysterium tremendum the immense Jalali mystery of the

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

Divine when approaching the Kaaba, and as I said, you have the

00:00:16 --> 00:00:20

enormous crowds circling it towards the maximal

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

differentiation of human beings. And then you have the complete

00:00:23 --> 00:00:27

unicity of that symbol of that which lies beneath them better

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

than that and more and which is ultimately a representation as

00:00:30 --> 00:00:34

even the least educated hajis know of the unknowable eternity, the

00:00:34 --> 00:00:39

immutability of the Divine. So as a symbol, which of course, like

00:00:39 --> 00:00:43

all Greek symbols, has a kind of alchemical effect on those who

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46

experience it. It's absolutely perfect. It's the perfect

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

representation of what monotheism is about

"I really think this is one of the greatest causes one could support"
