I just picked it up at http://www.paulmason.info/themaharishi/mmych14.htm 'The Maharishi himself freely acknowledged his debt to his own 'Guru Dev'. It might be wondered by what method old Swami Brahmanand had prepared his pupil for the world mission undertaken in his name. "Oh he must have known. He never said to me, otherwise quite a long time would have been wasted in planning. He saved us from that waste, just of planning. It just blossomed and blossomed and blossomed and blossomed."'
