Maharishi wouldn't have been *able* to give any advice to anyone having actual experiences of higher states of consciousness, never having experienced them himself. He did the same thing with everyone who ever claimed such experiences -- blow them off with a hearty "Something good is happening" and go back to selling beginner meditation to people who thought it was advanced.
