Why is the Ka’bah so Small?

I was going through a lecture of my Shaikh, Hazrat Hakeem Akhtar Sahib (DB), and came to  this  issue below which shows the understanding and wisdom the Ahlullah have.

Hazrat says, “Once a person said to me, “The greater the person is, the greater the house they have.  Allah is the Greatest, so His house should also be the greatest, but the ka’bah is not so big.”  I said, “Allah is All-Powerful.  Allah is fully capable of making the Ka’bah go from Makkah all the way to Jeddah, but you would faint and fall after going around the Ka’bah once, let alone seven.  Doctors would have to come to your rescue and give you nutrients because you would have become so weak.  Allah made the Ka’bah to be small out of His mercy so that it doesn’t inconvenience His guests and those who come for Hajj and ‘Umrah, and those who do tawaaf.”
