Not to mention that IMO he never had any darshan to give in the first place. IMO one of the reasons for the "sterile room" lifestyle is to keep people from getting close enough to him to figure that out. In general, I'd say that the further away a not- terribly-special spiritual teacher keeps his students, the more likely they are to put him on a pedestal and treat him as "special." Just look at this discussion group...many of those who are the most fervent True Believers here and who believe most strongly that they work with a fully enlightened teacher have *never even been in the same room* with Maharishi. Or, for that matter, have they been in the same room with *any* teacher who *can* generate something that qualifies as darshan. They've never experienced the phenomenon, PERIOD, but they are convinced that Maharishi can do it. Go figure. The things some people will believe if they tell them to themselves long enough...
