Have you looked inside your box yet?
A beggar had been sitting on a box by the side of the road for over thirty years.
One day a stranger walked by.
"Spare some change?" mumbled the beggar,
"I have nothing to give you," said the stranger.
Then he asked: "What's that you're sitting on?"
"Nothing, " replied the beggar. "Just an old box. I've been sitting on it for as long as I can remember.
"Ever look inside?," asked the stranger.
"No," said the beggar. "What's the point, there's nothing in there."
"Have a look inside," insisted the stranger.
The beggar, reluctantly, managed to pry open the lid.
With astonishment, disbelief, and elation, he saw that the box was filled with gold.
I am that stranger who has nothing to give you and who is telling you to look inside. Not inside any box, as in the parable, but somewhere even closer: inside yourself.
Follow me, and I will show you the way.
Many people don't look inside themselves. They are so lost in thought, ego and identification with the external that they cannot see beyond that. They cannot see their true form which is consciousness prior to identification with form and thought.
That is where true peace and joy lies. I have found it and I can show you the way.
My own box is open. That is why I can show you the way.

On the other hand, the cat is safe until the box is opened. I think I might leave it that way for a while yet.
However, I am a stranger who has some advice to give you.
Don't patronise me. You presume to a degree of wisdom that allows you to lecture everybody. Open your own box and look again.

I'm worried that if I open mine, I might be opening Pandora's box. So if you don't mind I'll keep closed for now.
But it doesn't mean that Iven't wondered what's inside.

Your assumption that others don't look inside themselves is a bit presumptuous isn't it? Who are you and who pinned a rose on your butt?
