Mate, I can say with a degree of confidence the primary motivation of your boss in presenting Maharaji to you was genuine. My take is he thought you might benefit from it, like he feels he has. From your storey, one cannot say your motivation for going in the first place was genuine. It does not surprise me therefore that you ended up not pursuing it. Regarding "service", ask some of the ex-premies about their experience -- let's call it, helping out in some way. At the time, it was a high and life-defining experience. For some that is still the case, even though ex-premies have written their time off as something negative. As for your surprise that no one pursued you after you walked away? In 30 years I've never heard of anyone ever doing such a thing to someone who chose not pursue it. Hear's a secret that may explain why..... It's not a cult!
