In the material world we tend to take things for granted when we succeed at something. At such times one is prone to think, “I have done it. I have won.” In fact one should be grateful that Krsna has allowed for victory over material nature. Such triumphs are easily reversed. In the latter portion of the Bhagavad-gita we find three verses that recommend being equipoised in happiness or distress. Most people blame God for their misfortunes and credit themselves when destiny appears to smile on them.
