One evening the Swami, accompanied by his brother-monks, Tirtha Ram, and a number of young men, was walking along the road. The party broke into several groups. "In the last group," according to Swami Ram Tirtha, in a letter written at a later date from Darjeeling, "in answer to a question, I was explaining: 'An ideal Mahatma is one who has lost all sense of separate personality and lives as the Self of all. When the air in any region absorbs enough of the solar heat, it becomes rarefied and rises higher. The air from different regions then rushes in to occupy this vacuum, thus setting the whole atmosphere in motion. So does a Mahatma marvellously infuse life and spirit into a nation through self-reform.' The Swami's group happening to be silent at the time, he overheard this part of our conversation and stopped suddenly and emphatically remarked, 'Such was my guru, Paramahamsa Ramakrishna Deva.'"

The return to the plains had caused a relapse of the illness that had taken him to the Himalayas, and he was consequently forced to postpone the completion of his lecture tour. (LSV 2.294)
