Looking at the image of the Obì thrown for Ọ̀sẹ̀ Ifá today, it was coincidental that someone sent a post to me on ANGER which reflects the message from Ifá on Ogbè Yọ́nú. The post :-
CONTROL YOUR ANGER
You cannot see your reflection in boiling water.
Similarly, you cannot see the truth in a state of anger.
When the waters calm, clarity comes.”
A calm mind is essential to making decisions you will not regret.
A mind that’s calm in any and all situations can process, analyze, and act more rational than a “boiling” mind.
Learn to control your emotions when they arise, understand them, and move on.
Don’t give in to impulses.
98% of everything you do out of anger you will regret later on.
This is the truth about meditation:
When turbulence is extinguished, insight comes with clarity.
Always make big or meaningful decisions when your mind is at peace.
Let your motto be:
Anger solves nothing…
Now, listen to the stanza of Ogbè Yọ́nú/Ògúndá
Ìbínú kò ṣe nkànkan fún ni
Sùúrù ni baba ìwà
Àgbà tí ó ní sùúrù oun gbogbo lóní
Adífá fún Orí inú a bù fún t’òde
Orí inú pẹ̀lẹ́ kí o má ba t’òde jẹ́
Gbogbo oun tí a bá ńṣe láyé ẹ jẹ́ a na sùúrù sí
Bí inú bá le lálejù ire a rí ni sá
Anger does no one any good
Patience is the father of character
The elder who has patience has everything
Cast divination for inner head (destiny) and physical head ( character)
I urge you my inner head, don’t let my character be spoiled.
Whatever we do in this life, let’s exercise patience
Too much anger drives away goodness
Ẹni tí ó bá l’étí kó gbọ́
Those who have ears should listen.
Stay blessed.
