Christ Consciousness
Just as I feel my own consciousness in every part of my physical body, I need to feel all humanity as part of me. It is the awareness of perception of every being. That is the meaning of Christ Consciousness. When Christ comes within us, we lose our ego; the ‘I’ is demolished. That is what Christ is. If you like Christ, then follow His ways. God could be cruel and destroy evil doers, but instead He uses love to bring humans back to Him. That is why Jesus says, “love your enemies for God makes His sun to rise on the evil and the good; sends rain on the just and the unjust”.
Hating someone is going against one’s own interest. Try to be a friend to everyone. To love your enemies is the best way to conquer them. Don’t allow the infection of hatred in yourself. Remember that your enemies are also the children of God. They are ignorant of what they are doing. No thinking person wants to do wrong. They don’t realize the error of their ways. They don’t have the clear vision or power of reflection. That is why they “know not what they do” (Luke 23:34). Such person actually does great harm to himself and he is the object of sympathy.
Always aspire to know Christ within you. Banish every prejudice and love all beings. Harm no one. Judge not others. Hate none, love all. Whatever blessing you have, desire that all should have it. Share with all. Give and you shall receive. In this way prepare your consciousness in order to bring Christ into your consciousness. That is Christ Consciousness.
