==Ganesha==
Ganesha is the Power that removes obstacles by the force of Knowledge.
Ganesha (among other things) is the Devata of spiritual Knowledge.

Ganesha, lord of wisdom and learning who wrote the poem [Mahabharata] to Vyasa’s dictation. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/27/simplicity-and-condensation#p3</ref>
==Garima==
[One of the four physical siddhis in Hatha Yoga] by perfect garima he can develop an adamantine steadiness which the shock of the avalanche cannot overbear. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/01/hathayoga#p3</ref>
==Gathering==
You must gather yourself within more firmly. If you disperse yourself constantly, go out of the inner circle, you will constantly move about in the pettinesses of the ordinary outer nature and under the influences to which it is open. Learn to live within, to act always from within, from a constant communion with the Mother. It may be difficult at first to do it always and completely, but it can be done if one sticks to it—and it is at that price, by learning to do that, that one can have the Siddhi in the Yoga. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/25/action-from-inner-communion-with-the-mother#p1</ref>
==Gayatri==
The power of Gayatri is the Light of the divine Truth. It is a mantra of Knowledge. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/23/sadhana-through-meditation-iii#p9</ref>

==GratitudeGhost== Loving recognition of the Grace received from the Divine, a humble recognition of all that the Divine has done and is doing for you, the spontaneous feeling of obligation to the Divine, which makes you do your best to become less unworthy of what the Divine is doing for you.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/gratitude#p3,p4,p5</ref>
==Gods==
They are in origin and essence permanent Emanations of the Divine put forth from the Supreme by the Transcendent Mother, the Ādyā Sakti ; in their cosmic action they are Powers and Personalities of the Divine, each with his independent cosmic standing, function and work in the universe. They are not impersonal entities but cosmic Personalities, although they can and do veil themselves behind the movement of impersonal forces. But while in the Overmind and the triple world they appear as independent beings, they return in the Supermind into the One and stand there united in a single harmonious action as multiple personalities of the one Person, the Divine Purushottama.

==Golden Light==
The golden light is that of the Divine Truth on the higher planes.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours</ref>
Golden light always means the light of Truth ; but the nature of the Truth varies according to the plane to which it belongs.
Golden light is a light from the Supermind but naturally it is modified in the plane in which it works. It becomes the light of Truth in the Overmind, light of Truth in the intuition.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p47,p58</ref>
==Goloka==
Vaikuntha and Goloka are human conceptions of states of being that are beyond humanity. Goloka is evidently a world of Love, Beauty and Ananda full of spiritual radiances (the cow is the symbol of spiritual Light) of which the souls there are keepers or possessors, Gopas and Gopis. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-supermind-or-supramental#p21</ref>
==Gossip==
The habit of talk about others. It is therefore this tendency that must cease in the vital itself. Not to be under the control of the impulse to speech, to be able to do without it as a necessity and to speak only when one sees that it is right to do so and only what one sees to be right to say, is a very necessary part of Yogic self-control. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/35/avoiding-gossip#p9</ref>
==Grace==
The Divine Grace is something not calculable, not bound by anything the intellect can fix as a condition, - though ordinarily some call, aspiration, intensity of the psychic being can awaken it, yet it acts sometimes without any apparent cause even of that kind. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p9</ref>
==Gratitude==
Loving recognition of the Grace received from the Divine, a humble recognition of all that the Divine has done and is doing for you, the spontaneous feeling of obligation to the Divine, which makes you do your best to become less unworthy of what the Divine is doing for you.
<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/gratitude#p3,p4,p5</ref>
Gratitude: it is you who open all the closed doors and let the Grace which saves penetrate deeply.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/gratitude#p1</ref>
==Guna==
The gunas are modes or processes of Nature. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-sankhya-yoga-system#p33</ref>
[T]he three names, sattva, rajas and tamas. Tamas is the principle and power of inertia; Rajas is the principle of kinesis, passion, endeavour, struggle, initiation (ārambha); sattwa the principle of assimilation, equilibrium and harmony. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/21/the-liberation-of-the-nature#p2</ref>
The three guṇas become purified and refined and changed into their divine equivalents : sattva becomes jyoti, the authentic spiritual light; rajas becomes tapas, the tranquilly intense divine force; tamas becomes śama, the divine quiet, rest, peace.

==Guru==
Guru is the channel or the representative or the manifestation of the Divine, according to the measure of his personality or his attainment; but whatever he is, it is to the Divine that one opens in opening to him ; and if something is determined by the power of the channel, more is determined by the inherent and intrinsic altitude of the receiving consciousness, an element that comes out in the surface mind as simple trust or direct unconditional self-giving, and once that is there, the essential things can be gained even from one who seems to others than the disciple an inferior spiritual source, and the rest will grow up in the sādhaka of itself by the Grace of the Divine, even if the human being in the Guru cannot give it. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/35/meeting-with-vishnu-bhaskar-lele#p1</ref>
