Question: When people think of the Christ at Christmas time, is it the Christ Consciousness that they are thinking of or is it something else?
Sri Chinmoy: When people think of the Christ Consciousness, I do not know which consciousness they are thinking of. But they are not reaching or realising the Christ Consciousness; they are realising the Son consciousness. The Son consciousness means infinite joy, infinite love, infinite compassion and infinite oneness.
Sri Chinmoy, A twentieth-century seeker, Agni Press, 1977
