Maharishi has *always* treated his students as children, with him as parent and absolute obediance a given. Almost everyone who attempted to "grow up" and make their own decisions about their own lives has either left the movement or been drummed out of it. I think it's pretty simple. This is the only form of interpersonal relationship with which Maharishi is comfortable. He can't possibly change, so everyone is expected to conform to his limitations and stay a child forever. As someone said here recently, these are the only people he trusts with the future of the movement. They have to have as little person- ality as possible and as little ability to stand on their own and make their own decisions as possible.
