The "research" mentioned in the gold-giving ceremony could easily refer to doing one's program and getting insights or cognitions from that (research on the sutras). So, he could have kept the gold and used the money to allow himself to live and do program all day.
It sounds as if he and his family have lived quite well in Paris - but that could be due to factors other than his own earnings. Or maybe he did take home a bundle - it sounds as if MMY really did want to honor him and his work. If he did, that is certainly not the same way that most others were treated financially in the TMO. But Nader is obviously a brilliant man and has applied a good deal of his energy to trying to make parallels between Vedic scriptures and some aspects of science. Maybe they made him up well for the taping, but he sure does seem to have a glow about him. I hope he is doing well, consciousness-wise. He spent a huge amount of time in Maharishi's presence, which must have had some powerful effects. At this point in his life, if he does anything, I would guess that he is going to move ahead within the tradition he knows and loves, and try to develop things further. Nothing wrong with that.
