But I believe that is the underlying assumption of those who use the phrase “Maharishi says.” That phrase carries a lot more weight than “I say” or “George Bush (etc.) says.” The assumption is that because Maharishi is enlightened, he knows the truth about anything he puts his attention on, whether politics, economics, agriculture, etc. It’s like “the Pope says” for a devout Catholic. He is God’s representative, so it’s almost like saying “God says.”
