Can’t practice Christ consciousness inside your home

If you want to practice Christ consciousness, Krishna consciousness, whatever you want to call it, you can’t do that from inside your home. You need to give yourself the opportunity to be of Christ consciousness, by going outside. 

Today, I was driving and there was a pedestrian who wanted to walk across the street. I could tell he was irritated so I stopped, and I let him cross. He was doing hand motions at me like he was trying to say “You’re driving...I’m walking. I have the right away.” 

So as I saw his frumpy little angry face, I couldn't help but break out into a huge grin. 

I slowed down right next to him, rolled down my window and screamed, "Love you sweetie!" as I drove through the intersection. He couldn’t help but smile and laugh back. 

None of this would’ve happened had I continued to be socially anxious in my home, avoiding other people. 

The best gift you can give to yourself and to society is to bring your Christ consciousness outside of your home. The day-to-day offers plenty of opportunities to be a joyous embodiment of a higher vibration.
