The topic which is dealt with in the final chapter of the book is on 'the stages of the spiritual progress' in this path. Master has given an illustrated diagram consisting of about twenty-three concentric circles and the first outer five circles are the sphere of Maya and then the eleven circles following it are called the circles of Egoism and then seven circles or rings of splendour and lastly a vacant space which leads you to the Centre itself. This is merely a diagrammatic representation of the stages which every abhyasi will have to pass through till he attains oneness with the Ultimate Godness. That is the centre.

And even beyond the seven rings of splendour, there is a vast Ocean in which the souls go on swimming till they reach the Ultimate Godness.
Now this shows a very big prospect before an Abhyasi. That it could be achieved even in his own life time is another great fact about this system.
