The test, if that is what it is, may *well* have
to do with determining who is willing to forsake
the modern sense of what it means to "have a life"
and instead spend the rest of your life butt-
bouncing on foam in a protected, safe-from-the-
outside-world enclave. It seems obvious (at least
to me) that the latter is what he's looking for as
the nucleus of the movement that will succeed him.
Maharishi is no longer looking for or appealing
to householders; he's focused on those who want
to become recluses, and stay recluses for the 
rest of their lives.

It's not really my cuppa tea, but for some people
it may well be *exactly* what they were always
looking for -- no responsibilities, no interface
to the world that most of the planet considers
"real," no worries, no strife. The same "program"
every day, always on the same schedule, always at
the same time, comforting, more regular than the
sun rising, inviolable.

If that's what he's looking for to perpetuate his
teachings, I have no doubt that he will be able 
to find them. I just wish he'd been open enough
to trust people whose idea of a life was actually
having one, in whatever form *they* imagined, not
the form that he imagined.
