Re Maharishi difficulties with staying celibate and/or not sexually exploiting
female disciples.
A number of other "enlightened masters" have apparently also had this
problem.This list would include;
Swami Rama
Amrit Desai
Ramesh Balsekar
J.Krishnamurti
Sogyal Rinpoche
Adi Da
Swami Muktananda
a bunch of others whose names I can't remember
I think that the fact that this appears to be a relatively common
problem suggests that(if you assume these people are "enlightened")
the assumption that being enlightened will necessarily lead to certain level of
moral and social functioning is unfounded and that it would be a mistake to
automatically attribute to these people qualities/virtues
they do not in fact possess them.Just food for thought.
