As such, there cannot be any attempt by him at being special- there is no other for purposes of comparison. Only duality can accomplish such a thing.
Humility expressed in the state of non-dual awareness is again appropriate because a being in such a state would not wish to harm or denigrate himself, any more than any of us would. to listen to the Maharishi from the perspective of duality, as an "other", a person will always be left with the impression that the Maharishi's ego was bigger than theirs.
