Coordinate planes and the planes $\pi_1, \pi_2, \pi_3$ which are respectively parallel to $YZ, ZX, XY$ planes at distances $a, b, c$,form a rectangular parallelepiped. $d_1$ is a diagonal of the face on the $XY$-plane not passing through the origin,and $d_2$ is a diagonal of plane $\pi_2$ coterminous with $d_1$. If none of the coordinates of the vertices of the parallelepiped are negative and the angle between $d_1$ and $d_2$ is $\theta$,then $\cos \theta=$
