The five levels of the mahatma help different levels of devotees. By seeing and being in the presence of a completely absorbed matma, will become highly inspired. The another devotee with a slightly lower mind will have to be taught, actually given lessons. All of these are the same - God does not degrade the quality of god seekers. It is transmitted spirituality can actually be like a physical thing being transmitted,. Like a fire lighting another, like a flower being given from one hand to another.
