Well, it contradicts one part of his message -- if you mean "high moral development" as something that can be codified. If it can't be codified, then your high level of moral development may be quite distinct from anothers. Meditate and act. Maharishi spoke in analogies -- like other spoke in parables perhaps. To me a more likely interpretation is that ON THE ROAD to more refined reflections of Consciousness, garbage that limits our views, makes us petty, makes us want to take an not give, these things tend to go away. And thus ones actions flow from a larger perspective on things, less petty and individual, kinder, more empathic. But that is not Consciousness acting. Some say milestones in the reflections of Consciousness occur when, not because, satva increases substantively. Same idea. Better social behavior results when satva is stronger. But that has nothing to do with Atman. And when or ones view is soaked in love, when each thing is loved, then actions fit better with others. One does things that support others, that don't diminish others. But that is not the reflections of Consciousness itself. What if high moral code was simply one does things that support others, that don't diminish others? We may have different views on this, but my view of MMY's actions was that he was supportive of others, not diminishing of others. YMMV.
