As far as I have studied Ramatirtha, he seems to have been on a higher level. That can be judged from the personal experience only—not from the books which are... are too highly mentalised to give any indication of the full achievement in the lower part of the nature. 2 December 1933 Ramatirtha used to say that all beings were himself in different forms and to address others as "myself in the form of ...".

... saints and holy men. Thus the love of good life inculcated by my father found rich nourishment in the school and at the young age of fourteen I had imbibed the inspiring influence of men like Swami Ramatirtha, Swami Vivekananda and Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. Inspired by the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna, at the age of sixteen I started the practice of meditation. During the long school vacation, I would...

... such as there used to be in the old times. In India there was also the traditional line of culture handed down from Gurus to disciples. Then the talk took a sudden turn.
