Understanding the divine Words

The understanding of His words and the comprehension of the utterances of the Birds of Heaven are in no wise dependent upon human learning. They depend solely upon purity of heart, chastity of soul, and freedom of spirit.

This quote is from Baha'i Scriptures by Horace Holley. In the Kitab-i-Iqan the Ideal Doves are referred to as the Birds of Heaven. :)

Thank you for the correction.
I just checked it with my printed copy. I found the correct translation under the same page. I am not sure how I got the Baha'i Scriptures version.

I will replace the quote from...

"Understanding the divine Words and comprehension of the utterances of the Ideal Doves have no connection with outward learning, but depend upon purity of heart, chastity of soul, and freedom of spirit."

to what now shall be the correct translation.
