If he was humble in the slightest that weakness would be near and dear. How often do gurus apologize for their shortcomings? Same as for American presidents. Tthat tact was taken however by the most cherished of all presidents - Kennedy - and it earned him great kudos in popularity. But only the truely great are so sure of themselves that they can afford to be seen as human without losing self respect. Or so humble as to take the chance on the people that they are supposedly serving. To be trusted one must trust. Otherwise who is one fooling really?
I've always thought that the most disturbing or hope crushing thing that Maharishi has done it to take the devotional impulse (and the innocent desire to help) of teachers and use it against them. I thought that it was important not to use other peoples ignorance or lack of knowledge against them.
