        Abdu'l-Baha continues:

 
                 "   Consider ! The blessed animals engage in  no patriotic quarrels. They are
                     in the utmost fellowship with one another and live together in the harmony.
                     For  example , if  a  dove  from  the  East  and  a  dove  from  the  West , a
                     dove from  the North  and  a dove  from the South chance to arrive , at the
                     same time , in one spot , they  immediately  associate  in harmony. So is it
                     with all the blessed animals and birds. But the ferocious animals, as  soon
                     as they meet , attack and fight with each other, tear each  other  to pieces
                     and it is impossible for them to live peaceably together in  one  spot. They
                     are all unsociable and fierce, savage and combative fighters. "
