The highway to HY

Why didn't many of the greats share their wealth of attainment

The litvishe - yeshiva world had many phenomenal greats, rabbis who mastered the Torah and refined their character to extreme nobility etc. and unquestionably experienced and attained remarkable connection to HY, some levels of Divine Inspiration and ecstasy. Yet none of them really put out the word to the rest of Israel the tricks to merit to this divaikus, they just pushed the general agenda of the yeshivas, in some version. 
Only the Chasidim and Kabalists put the word out that there are powerful ways that one can and should take advantage of to make awesome gains connecting to HY.
This Shabbos a theory suddenly occurred to me. Those that perceived their status to be a result of their efforts and commitment etc. could not tell others there are powerful shortcuts, because they didn't believe in shortcuts, just good old hard devotion and work.
But those tzadikim who were blown away by the awesome levels HY showed them, didn't see how their own meek devotions warranted and earned them such things, they saw it as radically out of proportion. So if HY was so good to them, that by the little good that they did they merited to such awesome levels, then everyone else could also merit. Thus they tried to share with everyone the good stuff.
Just like someone who was successful in business, if he was disciplined and worked hard etc., even if he knows that he had some lucky breaks on the way, he's going to share with others primarily his work ethics. But someone who luckily discovered a quick easy way to make huge amounts of money, he's going to tell people about the quick score. 
Thus let me share with you Rabbainu:
Na NaCh NaChMa NaChMaN MayUMaN
