What Does “Ghadir Marks the Beginning of Structural Change” Mean?

Structural change is a transformation in one’s very essence—a profound, root-and-branch change. Just as sweetness and bitterness, beauty and ugliness, pleasing and unpleasant colours, and pleasing and unpleasant sounds are directly connected to the Covenant of Ghadir, so too are these and even more fundamental changes sustained through the ongoing Covenant of Ghadir. Through Ghadir, we must become other than what we are: as soil becomes a beautiful flower, a worm a butterfly, and so on; a butterfly something beyond a butterfly; a human being something beyond the human, no longer merely human; and so on.
