notes

"... The animal is ... a captive of the world of nature and not in touch with that which lies within and beyond nature; it is without spiritual susceptibilities, deprived of the attractions of consciousness, unconscious of the world of God and incapable of deviating from the law of nature... The animal can only know through sense impressions and cannot grasp intellectual realities. The animal cannot conceive of the power of thought. This is an abstract intellectual matter and not limited to the senses. The animal is incapable of knowing that the earth is round..."

– 'Abdu'l-Bahá, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, talk no. 85, 24 July 1912 (ABU0096)
