You know that the Garuda bird feeds on snakes. Well, once the Garuda bird went to Kailasa Mount to pay respects to Siva,who wears snakes on His head, arms, wrists, neck, waist and ankles. When the snakes saw Garuda, they were unafraid; they even dared to put out their forked tongues at Garuda and challenged to come near him.
That was the extent of the courage lent to them by the place where they had established themselves. So, establish yourselves in the Atma; no worry or grief or pride can harm you then.
(Chinna Katha from the Divine Discourses of Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
