To me, the notion that Rick is "reducing Maharishi to a relative personality, with flaws like all of us" is utterly bizarre. Reducing? As if MMY or any other of the 6.5 billion humans on earth is somehow *not* a relative personality with flaws like all of us? Rick's friend sounds like he'd be shocked to learn that MMY also pees from a dick and shits out of an asshole.
