==Idea==
It is intellect that puts ideas in the form of thoughts, gathering and organising the thoughts at the same time. There are great ideas which lie beyond the ordinary human mentality, which can put on all possible forms. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/17-june-1953#p10,p11</ref>
There is a power in the idea—a force of which the idea is a shape. Again, behind the idea and force and word there is what is called the spirit,—a consciousness which generates the force. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/thought-and-knowledge#p22</ref>
There is a part of the mind which receives ideas, ideas that are formed in a higher mind.
==Ignorance==
Our incapacity does not matter―there is no human being who is not in his parts of nature incapable―but the Divine Force is also there. If one puts one’s trust in that, incapacity will be changed into capacity. Difficulty and struggle themselves then become a means towards the achievement.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/25/trust-in-the-mothers-force-in-difficulty#p1</ref>
One ought not to settle down into a fixed idea of one’s own incapacity or allow it to become an obsession; for such an attitude has no true justification and unnecessarily renders the way harder. Where there is a soul that has once become awake, there is surely a capacity within that can outweigh all surface defects and can in the end conquer.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/23/basic-requisites-of-the-path-i#p46</ref>
==Inconscient==
Inconscient is an appearance, a dwelling place, an instrument of a secret Consciousness or a Superconscient which has created the miracle we call the universe. Matter is the field and the creation of the Inconscient. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/1-may-1957#p2</ref>
If there is a negation of something, it is truly the Inconscient, it is the negation of everything. It has not even the capacity of emptiness. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/24-march-1951#p5</ref>
==Indifference==
Inertia is the very character of the physical consciousness left to itself—it is accustomed to be passive to forces and to be their instrument or give a mechanical response to them.
Dullness, uneasiness, weakness, feeling old and worn out or ill, are the reactions that come when the inertia of the physical Nature resisting the Light. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/difficulties-of-the-physical-nature#p14,p16,p18</ref>
==Iṣṭa Devatā==
God meets us first in different limited affirmations of his divine qualities and nature; he presents himself to the seeker as an absolute of the things he can understand and to which his will and heart can respond; he discloses some name and aspect of his Godhead. This is what is called in Yoga the ''iṣṭa-devatā'', the name and form elected by our nature for its worship. In order that the human being may embrace this Godhead with every part of himself, it is represented with a form that answers to its aspects and qualities and which becomes the living body of God to the adorer. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/the-mystery-of-love#p3</ref> ==IsvaraIshwara== The Ishwara is supracosmic as well as intracosmic; He is that which exceeds and inhabits and supports all individuality; He is the supreme and universal Brahman, the Absolute, the supreme Self, the supreme Purusha.He is the Conscious Being, Soul, Spirit, Purusha, and it is by his Nature, the force of his conscious self-existence that he is all things; the omniscient and omnipotent All-ruler, and it is by his Shakti, his conscious Power, that he manifests himself in Time and governs the universe. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/21/brahman-purusha-ishwara-maya-prakriti-shakti#p3,p27</ref>
