The Horn and the Bell are rejected because they represent 2 methods operating upon a strategy from Shaitan which deals with the “unthinking”, instinctual, animal nature of the human being. As themes and methods for raising the dead, they don’t respect the will of Allah for the human being. They treat the people as a mass of animals to be herded. And not as Khalifah, “A Sovereign Individual”.

The Adhan is saying that Muslims reject this method of controlling the life and death of the minds of society.  We reject both the bugle and the bell. The Adhan means to come straight, come clean, come true, call the people. They are not cattle to be called by a bell. [And] the bugle was made to really represent the sound of the elephant.

The elephant is symbolic of great riches, great wealth, great mass and it has many very interesting features that we don't have time to discuss and they are not for this particular session. 

 

Its snout is really its nose.  That long snout is powerful for lifting, for pushing, for doing many things. It even eats with its nose.  It picks up its food with its nose. Its power is in its nose. I think some of you have made the connection.”
