You know that the Garuda bird feeds on snakes. Well, once Garuda went to Kailasa Mountain 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 put out their forked tongues at Garuda and challenged him to come near them.
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.
(Quoted from the Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
