Mahesh's intentions were to make money for himself. Don't fool yourself! TM is based on the notion that the mind goes in the direction of more and more. That's a definition of greed. Mahesh was using secrets (which he knew you would want to find out) to sell you [not you personally, 'you' in general] what you wanted: more. It certainly wasn't difficult for him to notice that there were some folks who would pay any price to get something for nothing. Mahesh is the great (Maha) secret-walla. When you get right down to it, the only secret he had was "as effortlessly as you think/are thinking/experiencing any thought" which he peddled into a multi- million (probably billion) dollar empire/cult with himself as it's supreme decision-maker. Mahesh is about money. Anything you [you personally or 'you' generally] have gotten from Mahesh has been your own doing. Mahesh's "good intentions" were self- serving, narcissistic and anything but spiritual. Too bad he didn't listen if and when Guru Dev might have told him to go sit in a cave.
