In other words, in our world back then, there is no East and there is no West. That is the kind of intersection I was talking about; that was the kind of environment in which I grew up.

It shows that holistic knowledge of reality, of the world can only be provided by revelation. Thus, the only path to complete knowledge of entities in the world is that in which both reason and revelation are partners.
