I was a hidden treasure, and I wished to be known, so I created a creation (mankind), then made Myself known to them, and they recognised Me. -HadithWhen Muslims circumambulate the Kaaba seven times, they are representing many things:
Inside the KaabaOr as it was emphasized in al-Qur'an:
it doesn't matter which direction you point
your prayer rug! -Jalaluddin Muhammad Rumi, Moses and the Shepherd
Piety is not to turn your faces to the east or the west; rather, piety is [personified by] those who have (solar conscious) faith in Allah and the Last Day (Resurrection within the world of Briah), the angels (Elohim, Buddhas, Gods), the Book (scriptures of all masters and initiates), and the prophets (Dhyani-Bodhisattvas), and who give their wealth (spiritual Dharma, teachings), for the love of Him, to relatives (spiritual, Gnostic brethren), orphans (in need of their Divine Mother), the needy (of instruction), the traveller (on the way of God, the straight path of Al-Fatihah) and the beggar (hermit of the Ninth Arcanum), and for [the freeing of] the slaves (from bondage in Mitzrahim, Egypt), and maintain the prayer and give the zakāt (charity, the perfection or paramita of generosity), and those who fulfill their covenants, when they pledge themselves (unlike the Hasnamussen who do not dedicate themselves to the death of their ego and do not fulfill the covenant or Alliance with God, Arcanum 33), and those who are patient in stress and distress, and in the heat of battle (against their egotistical desires). They are the ones who are true [to their covenant], and it is they who are the Godwary. -Al-Baqarah [2:177]
For thirty years I sought God. But when I looked carefully I found that in reality God was the seeker and I the sought. -Bayazid al-Bastami
