Joy of victory

...rise above joy and sorrow, victory and defeat; for in sorrow as in joy he will feel himself to be near God, with God, like God and finally God

Sri Aurobindo

Sri Aurobindo. Isha Upanishad

Victory

The first victory is to create an individuality. And then later, the second victory is to give this individuality to the Divine. And the third victory is that the Divine changes your individuality into a divine being.

There are three stages: the first is to become an individual; the second is to consecrate the individual, that he may surrender entirely to the Divine and be identified with Him; and the third is that the Divine takes possession of this individual and changes him into a being in His own image, that is, he too becomes divine.
