VS thy inner GOD [[p. 9]] The Higher SELF.
OG God -- The core of the core of a human being or of any other organic entity whatsoever is a kosmic spirit, a spark so to say of the kosmic flame of life. (See also Inner God)
OG Gods -- The old pantheons were builded upon an ancient and esoteric wisdom which taught, under the guise of a public mythology, profound secrets of the structure and operations of the universe which surrounds us. The entire human race has believed in gods, has believed in beings superior to men; the ancients all said that men are the "children" of these gods, and that from these superior beings, existent in the azure spaces, men draw all that in them is; and, furthermore, that men themselves, as children of the gods, are in their inmost essence divine beings linked forever with the boundless universe of which each human being, just as is the case with every other entity everywhere, is an inseparable part. This is a truly sublime conception.
One should not think of human forms when the theosophist speaks of the gods; we mean the arupa -- the "formless" -- entities, beings of pure intelligence and understanding, relatively pure essences, relatively pure spirits, formless as we physical humans conceive form. The gods are the higher inhabitants of nature. They are intrinsic portions of nature itself, for they are its informing principles. They are as much subject to the wills and energies of still higher beings -- call these wills and energies the "laws" of higher beings, if you will -- as we are, and as are the kingdoms of nature below us.
The ancients put realities, living beings, in the place of laws which, as Occidentals use the term, are only abstractions -- an expression for the action of entities in nature; the ancients did not cheat themselves so easily with words. They called them gods, spiritual entities. Not one single great thinker of the ancients, until the Christian era, ever talked about laws of nature, as if these laws were living entities, as if these abstractions were actual entities which did things. Did the laws of navigation ever navigate a ship? Does the law of gravity pull the planets together? Does it unite or pull the atoms together? This word laws is simply a mental abstraction signifying unerring action of conscious and semi-conscious energies in nature.

TG Great Age. There were several "great ages" mentioned by the ancients. In India it embraced the whole Maha-manvantara, the "age of Brahma", each "Day" of which represents the life cycle of a chain -- i.e. it embraces a period of seven Rounds. (See Esoteric Buddhism, by A. P. Sinnett.) Thus while a "Day" and a "Night" represent, as Manvantara and Pralaya, 8,640,000,000 years, an "age" lasts through a period of 311,040,000,000,000 years; after which the Pralaya, or dissolution of the universe, becomes universal. With the Egyptians and Greeks the "great age" referred only to the tropical or sidereal year, the duration of which is 25,668 solar years. Of the complete age -- that of the gods -- they say nothing, as it was a matter to be discussed and divulged only in the Mysteries, during the initiating ceremonies. The "great age" of the Chaldees was the same in figures as that of the Hindus.

WG Guna, a quality, attribute; as a term in philosophy, one o the three pervading qualities of prakriti, matter, which specifically are: sattva, truth, purity; rajas, passional activity; tamas, darkness. (guna, a single thread of a cord.)
OG Gunas or Trigunas -- (Sanskrit) Differentiated matter is considered to possess or to have in occult philosophy three essential qualities or characteristics inherent in it, and their Sanskrit names are satva, rajas, and tamas. These three are the gunas or trigunas.
SKo Guna, Triguna, Sattva, Rajas, Tamas, Sattvika, Rajasa, Tamasa Guna is a word meaning 'a quality,' or 'a characteristic.' All Prakriti or all Nature possesses three basic qualities or Trigunas, those of Sattva, the quality of purity, truth, goodness, or substantial reality; Rajas, the quality of activity, passion, or desire; and Tamas, the quality of quiescence, darkness, ignorance, inertia, or immobility. Each one of these Trigunas has its good and its evil side; and each itself is threefold; hence there is a Sattva-sattva, a Rajas-sattva, and a Tamas-sattva; a Sattva-rajas, etc. These three qualities and their subdivisions may be traced in all visible and invisible things, and also in the actions of all living beings. When a man dies his Ego is in a Tamasa, a quiescent, state; when alive it is in a Rajasa state; while the divine-spiritual part of man, either during life or death, is in the Sattvika state. A wise man endeavors to express and live the highest aspects of all these three qualities.
Sattvika, Rajasa, and Tamasa are the Sanskrit adjectival forms of Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas.

For a fuller description of this topic by articles, excerpts, and possibly further links; hyperlink to the Teachers, Disciples, and the Hierarchy of Compassion section of another site.
TG Guru (Sk.). "Spiritual Teacher; a master in metaphysical and ethical doctrines; used also for a teacher of any science.
VS Seek not for him [[guru]] who is to give thee birth (I 20) [[p. 7]] The Initiate who leads the disciple through the Knowledge given to him to his spiritual, or second, birth is called the Father guru or Master.
FY Guru, spiritual preceptor.
WG Guru, a spiritual parent or preceptor. (guru, weighty, important, worthy of honor.)
OG Guru -- (Sanskrit) Sometimes gurudeva, "master divine." The word used in the old Sanskrit scriptures for teacher, preceptor. According to the beautiful teachings of the ancient wisdom, the guru acts as the midwife bringing to birth, helping to bring into the active life of the chela, the spiritual and intellectual parts of the disciple -- the soul of the man. Thus the relationship between teacher and disciple is an extremely sacred one, because it is a tie which binds closely heart to heart, mind to mind. The idea is, again, that the latent spiritual potencies in the mind and heart of the learner shall receive such assistance in their development as the teacher can karmically give; but it does not mean that the teacher shall do the work that the disciple himself or herself must do. The learner or disciple must tread his own path, and the teacher cannot tread it for him. The teacher points the way, guides and aids, and the disciple follows the path.
GH Guru A Teacher, a Preceptor, especially one who imparts spiritual teachings to a disciple. (Bhagavad-Gita, W. Q. Judge, p. 86)
SKv Guru, Gurudeva, Upadhyaya A Guru is a spiritual parent or spiritual preceptor. The word is derived from the verbal root guy -- to raise, to lift up. Guru may also be used for the Higher Self within, whose influence is ever inspiring and uplifting the learning human being. In order to express the sacredness and reverence felt by the pupil towards his spiritual guide, inner or outer, a Guru is often called Gurudeva, 'divine Teacher' or the guide and awakener of the divine life within. Another word used in ancient Hindu literature for a spiritual guide is Upadhyaya, a compound of upa -- according to, and the preposition adhi plus the verb-root i -- meaning in combination 'one who causes one to learn according to the Vedic scriptures or the wisdom-teachings.'

OG Guru-parampara -- (Sanskrit) This is a compound formed of guru, meaning "teacher," and a subordinate compound param-para, the latter compound meaning "a row or uninterrupted series or succession." Hence guru-parampara signifies an uninterrupted series or succession of teachers. Every Mystery school or esoteric college of ancient times had its regular and uninterrupted series or succession of teacher succeeding teacher, each one passing on to his successor the mystical authority and headship he himself had received from his predecessor.
Like everything else of an esoteric character in the ancient world, the guru-parampara or succession of teachers faithfully copied what actually exists or takes place in nature herself, where a hierarchy with its summit or head is immediately linked on to a superior hierarchy as well as to an inferior one; and it is in this manner that the mystical circulations of the kosmos, and the transmission of life or vital currents throughout the fabric or web of being is assured.
From this ancient fact and teaching of the Mystery schools came the greatly distorted Apostolic Succession of the Christian Church, a pale and feeble reflection in merely ecclesiastical government of a fundamental spiritual and mystical reality. The great Brotherhood of the sages and seers of the world, which in fact is the association of the Masters of Wisdom and Compassion headed by the Maha-chohan, is the purest and most absolute form or example of the guru-parampara existing on our earth today. (See also Hermetic Chain)
SKf Guruparampara 'The Golden Chain of Hermes'; an uninterrupted succession of spiritual teachers one following another; a compound of guru -- teacher, and parampara -- one following the other. In the ancient Mystery-Schools, as in our own Theosophical Mystery-School, the Hierophant or Spiritual Guardian of the sacred teachings passed on his holy trust to another worthy one just as he had received it from the one before him. Another use of the word Guruparampara is the graded series of Divine Rulers ranging from the Hierophants of a Spiritual Center of Truth among men to the highest Divine Guardians of our Universe, and verily, even farther, beyond our ken.
SP Guru-parampara -- a succession or lineage of teachers.
