Greetings friends of old, and friends of new. This riddle is particularly difficult, but I’d venture to say that some of you will get pretty close to the answer.
A man walks his dog by the lake. Suddenly, a frog pops out of the water and says to the man:
“Your master wants you home at once.”
“Wow, a talking frog,” says the man a bit surprised, but not overly amazed, “and how would you know that?”
“He told me so himself, as I’ve just talked to him. Get back before he gets mad,” was the frog’s reply.
“But I don’t have a master… I have plenty of servants though,” said the man rather proudly.
The frog stamps its foot in distrust and disgust and leaps back into the lake.What’s the meaning of the above story? What has just happened?
Feel free to post your answer or comments in the comments below.

Hmmm. I wonder whether frogs can speak with dogs. Maybe the dog is the master?
The man just had a revelation about the true meaning of life. The frog is the messenger coming from the underworld of his unconsciouness. His brain fabricated this image because the man was in such surrounding. The master is the man’s true reason of being, from which he deviated with or without intention. The servants are all the things that the man posses and they are distracting him from the true path to meeting his inner self: losing all ones “Servants”, becoming humble like a servant towards his accepted master. The man’s master will get mad means that the inner self/being will begin to manifest inside him and will have bad effects upon him, unless he reunites with it and accepts it…
