Sadhguru on snakes

I myself have never heard more than the first few words of this video, and God willing, I never shall hear more--such is my horror of snakes and snake-worship.  I have posted this video here only as an excuse to quote an occasional verse of Voltaire's: 

L'autre jour, au fond d'un vallon

Un serpent piqua Jean Fréron.

Que croyez-vous qu'il arriva?

Ce fut le serpent qui creva.

Apposite, don't you think?
