Charlie Lutes had this and two other booklets for sale at the SRM place on Sta Monica Blvd in WLA, and when the Beatles went to Rishikesh, Bantam Books wanted some small book to cash in on the publicity, so Charlie took these three booklets and they were bundled into a small book, "Meditations of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi," although they were certainly of little possible interest to, and inappropriate for, non-meditators. Anyway, if MMY took the time to write this booklet, and call it "The Divine Plan," I'll presume that he actually knows the Divine Plan, and what he clearly says is that enlightenment has to unfold gradually in a world dominated by materialist thinking (when consciousness is low, as it obviously is on planet earth). So step one in this Divine Plan to enlighten the world is to leave India, which is the logical place to revive Vedic culture, but which would be a threat to the life of people immersed in material life throughout the world if the movement was successful there -- MMY says:"When the objectivity [man's material life] overtakes subjectivity [the divine intelligence in man] completely then the only way left for the subjectivity is that it should gradually rise up in such a way that its regeneration does not in any way tend to overthrow the validity of material life. On the other hand, the manner of spiritual regeneration should be such that instead of creating fear and havoc to material life, the growing spiritual values should supplement and reinforce the values of material existence. This is the working policy of the Divine Plan. The Spiritual Regeneration Movement is carrying this out." http://www.geocities.com/bbrigante/retards.html#light Step two is to spread TM a little throughout the West, again slowly because growth of spirituality is capable of creating fear and havoc in material life (a reaction seen many times on earth, including the attempt to kill Jesus after only three years of preaching His message of fullness of life). You're right, it's not smart from the level of ordinary human rationality that the TMO in the West is overtaken by inadequate personalities, but human reasoning is not the source of MMY's understanding of the Divine Plan, and having hairballs run the TMO is an easy way to keep the growth of the movement moderate and not a danger to the world order of ignorance. Step three: now a few candles have been lit around the world, MMY can turn his attention to restoring Vedic culture in India, which he has announced with big plans like the 100,000 pundits and so on, and when TM and the rest of Vedic culture takes off in India, then there will be a shell of an organization in the West ready to spread the revival of Vedic bliss after it is restored in India, and the few people meditating throughout the West will be enough to light up the atmosphere so that the very bright light that will radiate from India will not be too shocking -- even a match struck in a dark room banishes the totality of darkness, and gives the people in the room some vision: In his press conference of 13Apr2005 at mou.org, Maharishi said that "As Indian national consciousness rises in coherence -- which is the basis ofinvincibility for the nation�then world consciousness will rise in coherence � which is the basis of permanent world peace ...One sun rises, but its innumerable rays spread light everywhere ...So it's natural for the influence of coherence to spread from India to the whole world." There is, of course, no guarantee that the above scenario will happen (people have absolute freedom of action, and may prefer to live in darkness, misery, war, carried away by the momentum of the Kaliyuga) - - the normal course of time is that this age of ignorance will last another 4270 centuries till Sat Yuga -- but MMY has clearly enunciated the Divine Plan that he is carrying out on behalf of His Divinity Guru Dev in order to terminate the Sat Yuga early (or at least create a Sat yuga bubble for a while in the Kaliyuga pond).
