Since everyone on this forum has dealt with the issue of where they (and others they may disagree with) stand regarding their relationship with Maharishi, whether as their guru, or teacher, or former-guru, or charlatan, or whatever; and since virtually everyone (if not everyone) acknowledges that Guru Dev is an umimpeachable authority on this and other subjects which this forum is expressly dedicated to, it is patently obvious why Paul has posted this.
