Genius

Genius is one attempt of the universal Energy to so quicken and intensify our intellectual powers that they shall be prepared for those more puissant, direct and rapid faculties which constitute the play of the supra-intellectual or divine mind. [1]

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. [2]

Golden Light

The golden light is that of the Divine Truth on the higher planes.[3]

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.[4]

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. [5]

Guna

[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. [6]

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. [7]


Gods

Gods are Personalities or Powers put forth by the Divine ; they are therefore in fact limited Emanations, although the full Divine is behind each of them. [8]

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.
