KÁBÍYÈSÍ – Reflection on humans and our diminutiveness
“Everything, they say, has beginning and ending. Following the same rational, they enunciate that everything that exists was created or caused by something. Those concepts, I believe, apply to humans’ immediate and galactic milieus – they are not applicable to the entity beyond our scope, comprehension, and dimension. I don’t think that the concepts of time, beginning, and ending apply to God, because he is not confined to the same terrestrial space and dimension as humans. That makes mere mortals so minuscule in the endless space of knowledge and time. Consequently, I feel infinitesimally insignificant whenever I compare the indiscernible speck that I am to the boundless universe. How great thou art, the creator of the cosmos. Kabiyesi, the Unquestionable One!” – Dele Ajaja
