 is got when one crosses these rings of splendour and enters the Ocean of the Centre. If the Heart Region grants actuality and the Mind Region grants potentiality, the Central Region grants latency. Potentiality itself derives from latency, the Tam (that), the last resting place of the true Yogi.
The Rings of splendour are but the focussing lights radiating from the Centre to the end of the Central Region making something like rings.
According to Shri Ram Chandraji, the Central Region is where all the thoughts merge into the original Thought-movement (Kshobh). It is held that all problems get solved here. For all the knots and cakras are divinely active and it is because of this that one who reaches this Region can yet keep his physical body and yet swim in the Centre. In other yogas this is impossible for they attempt the breaking up of or cutting down the knots and cakras, and these are somehow the necessary conditions of physical existence. Once one begins swimming in this region, one is fully awakened and experiences the real thing in pure and naked form (yathartha).
For entering into this Region the Power of the Master alone can help. The higher the approaches to the Centre the more is the need for the Master's help and guidance. Many schools, on the other hand, counsel the freedom that comes for the disciple as he advances, a freedom from the Master unfortunately. These may be the avadhutas, but the true aspirant becomes more and more integrated with the Master and can suffer no separation from Him. In earlier yogas even to enter the Brahmanda one had to relinquish one's physical body. The usual exposition of the jivanmukta or liberated even when within this body had only emphasized that the liberated one was yet subject to his past karma. That force which could make this subjection also impossible or remove this subjection is surely that of the Master or God, and it is when one enters the regions of the Centre that one is freed from this also.
Crossing the seven final rings of the Central Region one enters the Ocean of the Centre. One nears the Centre and it is said that this is so vast a region that the original Rishi who began swimming is yet swimming towards the Centre and has not reached it. This Centre is God. It is absolutely motionless. There is no power or energy or anything of that sort in it. It is called therefore, Nothingness, which is not however nothing.
