Living in Hope

English book, p. 81

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

The Lessons of Nature at all other times, such as many birds of prey and insectivorous passerines. Birds with similar habits sometimes travel together, a phenomenon observed among various species of shorebirds. Flocks sometimes show a remarkable cohesion, the most characteristic migratory formation of geese, ducks, pelicans, and cranes in a ‘V’ with the point turned in the direction of flights.” (Encyclopedia, Britannica, 12/181). ‘Unity in diversity’ an aphorism which should be known and appreciated by all mankind, is a matter of sheer instinct with other living creatures. Man, to his great discredit, appears to be the only creature in this world who has not been able to learn this great universal reality from the lessons of nature.
