WHEELS OF BIRTH AND DEATHA symbol of the periodic descents of the personalities into incarnation, and the ascents therefrom.

'Brahman pervades all created beings in the five forms, and constantly makes them, by means of birth, growth, and decay, revolve like the wheels of a chariot." ("The five forms are the five great elements, which produce all bodies.") - Laws of Manu, XII. 124. Spirit (Brahman) is the essential underlying element of all beings produced in the manifested universe of five planes. The spiritual monads acquire experience by means of life-cycles of birth, growth, and death, which succeed one another until perfection is attained. “God, our dwelling place before time began, brought forth the material universe to be a school of discipline for us, a necessary means to the reliasation of certain qualities of our nature." - R.
