Guru Gita 3/ 166
Oh Parvathi Initiating with holy five syllable manthra
Is a Bodhak guru who is better than the former two.
Bodhak= Teacher/ Deshika
Shiva says: Oh Parvathi, the one who initiate his disciple to spiritual path by giving General five syllable Manthra, is a Bodhak Guru. He is higher than the former two (Vachak and Suchak Guru).
Ordinary Yogis can't give experience of God to his disciple. Yogananda says: "A Master bestows the divine cosmic experience of God, when the disciple, by meditation, has strengthened his mind to the desired level. This experience can never be given through one's mere intellectual willingness or open mindedness. It is only yoga practice, meditation and Bhakti that acquire the merit.
Oh God, bless us with merit to experience thy presence.
