A conundrum with the lessons of Deepak Chopas' "The Book of Secrets"?

So in the early chapters of this book Deepak explains that capitalism is an illusion keeping us from the true mysteries of life. He goes on for a while about how limiting the life the majority of lead is.

I may or may not agree with this idea but I would imagine he should/would live this spirituality superior realm. Why then would he charge $17/book? Do you think it would be more appropriate to provide his services and lessons for a minimal fee? Is he just another sales person chasing wealth and celebrity posing as a spiritual role model and leader?

I have been so annoyed by this lack of congruence that I have not been able to move past this point in this book.
