One thing Maharishi has consistently said is that he doesn't matter with regard to propagating enlightenment. I am paraphasing, but I have heard him say something similar to this; that he is not the focus of attention with regard to enlightening the world. (perhaps Bob can find the quote?) So what better way to get the attention off yourself, instead of saying 'worshipping me or paying obeisance to me is not important on your path', than to be a target for failure, contradiction, and cold hearted behavior? It does away with those who would take mere remarks by Maharishi to that effect as mere modesty. And especially to claim the limelight for oneself and then fail spectacularly in a host of endeavors would certainly turn people off. Intentional or not, it sure gets us all questioning the TM knowledge in all its depth and breadth, and only leaves the very wise and very foolish seeing Maharishi as perfect.
