Quote by Darrell Calkins

“Real giving, clean, humble, precise, requires at least some anonymity. You do your job, and you’re not going to be paid for it. That’s the point in a way; you were already paid for it...Greatness, if you want to shoot for that, is the ability to do this and not have resentment or any other dis-ease accumulate.”

“We find “Nirvana” rendered by “annihilation” (no one stops to ask of what?), though the word means “despiration”, as Meister Eckhart uses the term. I accuse the majority of Christian writers of a certain irresponsibility, or even levity, in their references to other religions. I should never dream of making use of a Gospel text without referring to the Greek, and considering also the earlier history of the Greek words employed, and I demand as much of Christian writers. To THE NEW ENGLISH WEEKLY, LONDON - January 8, 1946”

“As Ouspensky says, it sometimes seems that the Perennial Tradition is reluctant to help seekers, but it only seems that way because, as Meister Eckhart explained in his writings, “If you haven’t the truth of which we are speaking in yourselves, you cannot understand me.” It’s not a matter of the Perennial Tradition making things deliberately arcane; it’s simply the fact that unless you have made a truth a part of your being you have no capability of understanding it.”

“This is not hyperbole. It is possible for the average professor to have been taught by leftists, grown up in a left-leaning city, read only left-leaning books, entertained by leftists in pop culture and became a professor without holding a job outside academia. How can we expect these professors to adequately explain what people who oppose them believe?”
