 Rings
It is an original discovery of Sri Ram Chandra that there are rings, which bind the individual. These rings seem to rise from about the Centre of God, and move towards the farthest limit of grossness in concentric spirals. The number of rings is said to be seven, and colourless at the beginning. They are said to be rings of splendour, which are certainly beyond the region of egoism, which arise later, after the splendour fades away. Then arise eleven circles of egoism, which are, as they move outward, more and more gross. They are also luminous, but as they move outward and away from the centre, they get individualized more and more from other similar movements from the Centre. The eighteen spiral rings now move towards the enfoldment of the outermost five circles or Rings. All these are of Nature, and reveal the structure and the process of organism-making.
This description of the individual's personality as comprising the five gross circles, eleven subtle circles, and finally the seven inmost circles around the central nucleus, or Centre, is not indicated in any earlier literature. Sri Ram Chandra holds that the form taken, as for instance, the human body, is due to the flattering and rounding of the spiral rings, so to speak, into this pattern of human form. By restoring them to their real condition or form, the continuous and uniform flow of energy is restored and the tensions of the organism are removed or destroyed. In other words, the rings are now in very bad shape, thanks to all sorts of activity, which are mutually restraining and effectively grossening one's nature. If we could but restore the rings to their real shape, or connect them with the central spiral continuum, then the sense of bondage can be lost; One is at peace.
Usually what is sought after is the complete removal of these rings so that one is finally freed from all process and movement. This may be called extinguishment of personality, called nirvana or emancipation. Sri Ram Chandra holds that this final extinguishment of personality does not take place except during the final pralaya or withdrawal of all souls into the Centre.
