All the 14 members of the Avatar's inner circle realize God by the grace of the Avatar during the same Avataric period, which is of 100 years' duration after the manifestation of the Avatar on earth. Regarding the outer circles of the Avatar, none of the 108 persons in the nine circles holds any office similar to that held by those of the inner circle; and all of these 108 persons attain God-realization by the grace of the Avatar, but not necessarily during the Avataric period.

These 108 persons of the outer circles have their respective places in the nine circles in accordance with their past connections with the members of the circle ahead of them. For example, the members of the second circle of the 12 persons, next to the inner circle, are grouped round the Avatar in accordance with their past connection with the members of the inner circle. 

Similarly, the 12 persons of the third circle, next to the second circle, are grouped round the Avatar in accordance with their past connections with the members of the second circle, and so on with all the remaining seven circles.

The number of men and women in each circle is as follows:

First Inner Circle — consists of 12 men and two women

Second Outer Circle — consists of eight men and four women

Third Outer Circle — consists of four men and eight women

Fourth Outer Circle — consists of eight men and four women
