钱先生还指出:辛研《文子·道德篇》称“上学以神听之,中学以心听之,下学以耳听之”,十四世纪德国神秘学家爱克哈特谓“The first is physi-cal.The second is intellectualand is much higher.The third signifies a noble power of the soul which is so high and so noble that is apprehends God in His own naked being.”。钱先生将这段英文中译为:“下学以身;中学以心知;上学以神,绝伦造极,对越上帝。”将辛研之言与爱克哈特之说两相对照,毋庸置疑,两者实在是如出一辙,何其相似乃尔!
