FWIW, I believe that MMY was once asked what happened if a crook became
enlightened and he responded they would become an enlightened crook. My
tantra guru samskaras don't necessarily all burn away with
enlightenment. That's the deeper meaning of "chopping wood and carrying
water."
When I was around MMY he did indeed illicit a great amount of shakti and
I could easily see the celestial glow around. He would have been a
pretty lousy monk to not have achieved some enlightenment during his
years at the math. I also muse at the stories even heard personally
from Charlie Lutes about MMY's used of stambhan (actually not very hard
to do).
The real mistake was the profiteering of TM which Charlie expressed
concerns about at our teacher's meetings with him.

Everyone says Marshy never claimed to be enlightened, yet -
"Maharishi said that the walls of this celebrated building--set in a
perfect Vastu garden with fountains and flowers and the flags of all
the countries--in no way enclose his unbounded cosmic awareness,
allowing him to focus and infuse Brahmi Chetana--the light of Total
Knowledge--into the life of every nation and the destiny of the human
race at this very crucial time of global transformation."
