Agreed. Gurus play a lot of games. Are tricksters. In the good sense. I am sure Maharishi has feigned krodha to make a point. Like when he ran after idle workman in Rishikesh with a big stick, yelling at them. (as relayed by a friend). He and Satyanand were probably rolling on the floor in stitches later that night (Satyanand: "you are one ashima-steeped yogi alright!")
