🌞 “The Reflection of Joy”
— A Simple Life Lesson for Shipping Souls

🧘♂️ Yoshi and the Master
– A Story About Real Happiness
A young man named Yoshi once went to his teacher and
said:
“Sensei, I have followed all your advice. I meditate, I work
hard, I help others… but I still don’t feel happy.”
The master was sitting under a tree, calmly watching flowers
dancing in the wind and sunlight.
He smiled and said,
“Happiness is like sunlight. You can’t catch it. You can
only reflect it.”
Then he told a story...
🧞♂️ The Monk and the
Genie
A monk finds a magic lamp. A genie comes out and says, “Ask
for three wishes.”
1️⃣ First wish – “End world
hunger” — Genie says: Not possible.
2️⃣ Second wish – “Make everyone happy” — Genie says: Also
not possible.
3️⃣ Third wish – “Make me peaceful and content” — Genie
says: ✅ Wish granted.
🌼 What We Learn: Real
Happiness Comes From Being Content
Yoshi was confused.
“Sensei, what does peace have to do with happiness?”
The master said,
“You are trying to grab happiness. But happiness is not a thing you
catch. It grows inside you — when you accept your life.”
🌊 Just like the sea
reflects the sun only when it’s calm… your mind reflects joy only when it is at
peace.
⚓ At Sea, and in Life — Accept,
Reflect, and Shine
In shipping, there are delays, stress, long contracts,
inspections.
But the secret is: Don’t chase happiness. Create peace inside you.
When you feel peaceful, joy will automatically show up — and reflect on
others too.

💬 Final Words from
Dattaram
Just like on ships, we cannot control everything in life.
But we can control our mind, our reactions, and our thoughts.
🌞 Happiness is not
outside. It is inside. When we feel peace, we feel joy — and we spread it to
others.
