Remember that nothing should stop you from offering rituals to your Orí and frequently performing little sacrifices to your Orí with obi, orogbo, atare, water, gin, and cowries.

These spiritual materials have powerful prayerful effects and strong vibrations. They induce supernatural forces and preponderant spiritual power from **Gbale—the ancestral spiritual dwelling—**into your life and the lives of your future generations.

Orí, aside from being one of the greatest Òrìṣà, is your essence and your life force.

It is the inner force that connects you with the infinite power of Olódùmarè, Olórí Pátápátá, enabling His goodness to manifest within your life.

Therefore:

Guide your Orí.
Bless your Orí.
Sanctify your Orí daily.
Communicate with your Orí.
Offer your Orí the appropriate spiritual materials.

Do not neglect the spiritual force that accompanies you throughout your earthly journey.

ORÍ — THE ONE WHO SUPPORTS US

According to an Ifá verse:

Atete Niran
Atete gbeni ju Òrìṣà
Amuniwaye ma gbagbe eni
Ori otosi ni sori apeere
Ori Olowo adudumoda.

Translated:

The one who is swift to remember his own people.

The one who aids and supports us faster than the divinities or deities.

The energy that brings us into the world and continues to support us infinitely.

The Orí of the foolish and indolent is desired by no one.

The Orí of the wise, prosperous, rich, and wealthy is what everyone desires.

Àṣẹ.

ORÍ AS THE INNER MAN

Orí becomes the symbol of the inner man, inner power, inner wisdom, essence, and force of destiny.

Never toy or joke with this power.

Your relationship with Orí is fundamental to the fulfilment of your destiny and to the manifestation of blessings capable of extending into generations yet unborn.

But taking care of Orí does not mean performing rituals alone.

Your entire way of life must support your Orí.

Your thoughts must support your Orí.

Your words must support your Orí.

Your actions must support your Orí.

Your habits must support your Orí.

Your spiritual practices must support your Orí.

Your character must support your Orí.

DO NOT WEAKEN YOUR INNER POWER

Never succumb to vices or become attracted to an easy life without discipline, effort, or responsibility.

Instead, induce, strengthen, and ignite your inner power through:

Positive mental states.
Sound spiritual steps.
Physical strength.
Emotional equilibrium.
Good feelings.
Positive thoughts.
Prayer.
Sacrifice.
Discipline.
Good character.
Patience.
Consistency.

A powerful Orí must be accompanied by a disciplined life.

Daily commitment and constant spiritual communication are necessary for developing your inner power and strengthening your relationship with Orí.

A person cannot continually fill the mind with destructive thoughts, engage in destructive habits, neglect discipline, and simultaneously expect the highest manifestation of Orí.

Your spiritual life and your daily character must move together.

DISCIPLINE YOUR THOUGHTS, WORDS AND ACTIONS

Maintain discipline in everything:

Your thoughts.
Your words.
Your actions.
Your vision.
Your mission.

Remember always that discipline, good character, patience, and consistency are keys to the fulfilment of destiny.

If you pray to Orí, allow your actions to agree with your prayer.

If you ask Orí for prosperity, develop the discipline necessary to sustain prosperity.

If you ask Orí for wisdom, remain willing to learn.

If you ask Orí for victory, develop the endurance required to overcome challenges.

If you ask Orí for peace, cultivate peace within yourself.

If you ask Orí to guide your destiny, do not continually choose actions that work against that destiny.

Spiritual power requires personal responsibility.

ÌWÀ AND ORÍ

Ifá teaches:

“Kò sí bí Orí kan ṣe burú burú kí ìwà má tún ṣe.”

The teaching is that:

Good character and patience can reshape destiny and strengthen the inner power.

This is extremely important.

Orí should never become an excuse for bad behaviour or indolence.

Your destiny does not remove your responsibility for your character.

Rather, Ìwà—good character—helps you walk correctly with your Orí.

Therefore, work upon yourself continually.

Correct your weaknesses.

Control your impulses.

Remove destructive habits.

Develop patience.

Strengthen your mind.

Build your body.

Maintain emotional equilibrium.

Pray.

Work.

Learn.

Remain disciplined.

And continue communicating spiritually with your Orí.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR ORÍ DAILY

Your Orí accompanied you into this world.

Your Orí carries your essence.

Your Orí connects you with your destiny.

Your Orí connects your inner being with the infinite power of Olódùmarè.

Therefore, do not remember your Orí only when problems arise.

Take care of Orí when life is difficult.
Take care of Orí when life is good.
Take care of Orí when doors appear closed.
Take care of Orí when blessings are abundant.

Offer prayer and the appropriate spiritual materials.

Give gratitude.

Maintain good character.

Remain patient.

Remain consistent.

Strengthen your inner power every day.

What you cultivate spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically today can become a foundation of blessings for your life and for generations yet unborn.

Orí a gbé wa l’ótu ìsáláyé àti ìsálọ̀run báyìí, Ifá ooo.

May our Orí support, elevate, and guide us here in the world of life and hereafter, oh Ifá.

May our Orí never abandon us.

May our inner power remain strong.

May our character support our destiny.

May the blessings of our ancestors from Gbale reach us and our generations.

May our Orí align us with the infinite goodness and power of Olódùmarè.

Orí a gbé wa ooo.

Àṣẹ.
