I am unsure of the relevance of chakras but what you posted is merely a metaphor for reaching gnosis no different than Plato's cave.

> how make them spin?

The wheel is significant because the end is as far from the center on all sides making it the perfect shape to depict truth hence why the Monists use the circle to depict the One.

>'well-rounded' - the circle is a round circular circumference produced by the irradiation of the point with no begining and no end. We can say that the circumference is an adequate representation of the well rounded truth, truth that is complete and total which means that there is no truth other than the supreme being. In fact the circle correctly expresses the idea of the infinite.

-an Advaita Vedanta member's analysis of the quote you excerpted, particularly of the emphasis on the well-rounded wheel of the chariot which symbolizes Truth and Being
