DO NOT BELIEVE THAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE REASON

DO NOT BELIEVE THAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE REASON

Teaching of Bàbá Odùdúwà in March 2018 during his Festival. Teaching of Baba Odùdúwà in March 2018, through his Ẹlẹ̀gún / Medium. Edited by Awo Ifalenu Baba Odùdúwà: Do you bring something to feed me? How can I feed you? What you bring to eat nourishes the body, what you bring to say nourishes my spirit. What do you want to ask me? Give me a path and a direction, and then I will tell you how to walk through it to achieve success. You understand? There are many roads that are not clear. You come to me to offer me, just as you I had flesh and I had a human body. Perfection is found in the same place as the order where everything is messy. You are possessors of perfection; the problem is that the disordered life that people have blind them before that reality. Different reasons are why people come to seek me, all leads to the same point. Just as the universe was created from a point, all derivatives of it will take you to the origin. You understand? What is the difference between each and every one of you? I hope to hear your “singing” ... (your answers). Then you all are the same, why you treat each other differently? From there is your perfection, because you are imperfect ... Millennia ago I contemplated the magnificence of the universe, when I understood what it was, I decided to form something that expressed it, you are Me, and I am you ... do you understand? What can you detest from what you have in front of you? That which you can detest of what you have in front of you is the same as what you have inside yourself. You understand? There is something that unites you, there is something that moves you, it is a particular quality, if you hate the one in front of you, if you detest the one in front of you, it will only be to detest your own reflection. Do you all understand? What do You understand? You could feel that in your hands. My word has nothing of truth, my word is a lie, ephemeral as something which you cannot touch or manifest, it is so powerful that it will always become a Reality. You understand? The reason you have to succeed in this universe is to consider that you are wrong, it is the only thing that can be true and truthful that is that you are wrong. Nothing, absolutely nothing that you can think or feel would be true, rather than the fact that you are wrong. You understand? If you have to carry out a mission, and always considering at all times that making a mistake is the basis of that mission, you will pretend never to be wrong, you will arrive at your destination. You understand? Nobody can live considering that he or she has the truth, nobody can live believing that he or she is right. There would be no other adjective for that person than just poor. You understand? Do not pretend to be what you are not, be of those who accept what corresponds to them in their destiny. You understand? The constant carnival under which this world is ruled is ominous, so needy is this world that you are here, so needy is this world that I (Baba Odùdúwà) am here. If you have ever contemplated the horizon that your eyes allow you to see, the day you do so you will understand that there is no other center of the universe than you. The Sun rises because I want it so, the Sun rises because you want it. You understand? It is enough for you to close your eyes, and the Sun will never come out again. You understand? (You open or close to that reality). You limit what you are, you do not understand the Power that you have. So powerful are you that if you did not want it, not even the universe would move. You understand? IFÁ and ÒÒŞÀ will be as big as you want them to be. Stronger and weaker than the ÒRÌŞÀ will you be. I know it has dawned when the rooster's song wakes me up. When the lyrics of the birds resound in the sky, here nothing resonates. You will be alive or dead. You understand? Can you dedicate a song to me? Sing ... What is the reality that you live and what is the reality you will see for each one of you? So great is the darkness that a simple focus can illuminate it. Why do they suffer? What is the reason for that? The reason why the human being suffers is the simple fact that he or she doesn’t like it. You suffer for what you do not like, when you understand that this is part of the mechanics of the universe, then you will stop suffering. Since before you existed, water was falling from the sky, before you existed, the Earth and the Sea claimed what was theirs. If before you existed everything already existed, why suffer for that? You understand? IFÁ is Time, IFÁ is what has happened, IFÁ is what will happen ... The ÒRÌŞÀ is what moves that, do you understand? Why you mourn the loss of a loved one? if from the moment they were born they were sentenced to die ... Why cry for something that you were destined to have? Fortunate those who returned to their origin. There is something you have to learn, and that is why you all are here.The turtle was invincible, the turtle thought of its invincibility, Ifá was wiser, the Eagle was wiser, and then the turtle was defeated. You understand? What was the sin of the turtle? The thought that turtle was invincible. Only in me emitting the vibration of my throat will be vast and sufficient to change your life. How easy do you consider twisting your thoughts and your life? How easy do you consider planning and amending your life? Get to know GOD, know that HE is the only Truth. Fortify your GOD (Your personal concept of God for you). God is not the same for everyone. Understand that you were the ones who created Him (God), and God didn’t create you ... Do you understand? What do You understand? If you look and admire God as one similar to you, then your God will be very poor, but if you look at your God as something Sublime and unattainable, in the same way you will be powerful. You understand? It is stupid to consider that your vision is the most accurate, the only thing that will engender will be suffering. GOD Does not exist because he does not live here like all of you. God is not strong because he does not overcome the tests that you have in this life, so that this could happen, God would have to stop being God, You understand? GOD is not GOD because He can overcome the trials, God is God because He was the one who gave you these tests. You understand? Where do you come from and where are you going? Who are you? Are you the person who you believe to be? Are you what reality tells you who you are? who are you? Are you an invention of your mind or a creation of others? You are what you want to be, the best in your eyes, although in the eyes of others you are the worst. You understand? What do you want to be? What is the reality? So great is your existence, that you exist and not Me... You understand? You can prostrate yourselves in front of the wisest judge, and no one better to judge you than yourselves... You understand? Good and Evil is ephemeral ... How good are y? How bad are you? Do you understand what you are? From the moment you have been admired by my eyes you are Me, I know what you are, I know what your greatness is, I understand and I understand that never will there be something greater than you. Now you should understand and comprehend it ... Each one of you is great to such great magnitude, that with just one, the universe would not move... You understand? You think we know each other just from today today, your existence just as mine is linked to a center, do you understand? Be what correspond to you, fulfill your destiny. Then you will stop having fear. You understand? How is my Medium/Ẹlẹ̀gún? Awo Ifalenu comments: He is inquisitive, he looks deep into things, he is eccentric, he tries to look for information and gets information, and he seeks the truth to see what is true of what is said. Is he too cheerful? He is well controlled. There is difference in his character to mine? Yes What moves him? His family Is he serious? Yes Do I speak to you as a man, does he speak to you as I do? You understand? He cannot deny his origin; do you understand the metaphor? You understand? From what you understand, how much do You understand? Now the man is talking to you. It is not your decision what occurs or what happens, you are part of the Universe. Now my Medium/ Ẹlẹ̀gún is talking to you, your existence is so perfect that not even the most accurate clock could move with the same dynamic that you move in this universe. Stop suffering, they are part of that mechanism. You understand? What do You understand? Before you arrived at this world your destiny was written in heaven, each of you has different reasons to be here, whatever the reasons will be the same reasons for the same point ... Have you suffered losses? You do not understand that the reason you are here is because you have suffered. That is what makes you common to you, makes you a community. You understand? Different reasons, different reasons, the point is the same. Are you here because you are the best? Then why are you here? You are the primordial base of your family, you are giving them that solid foundation, it is complex, it is crude, but it is reality. You cannot be blind; I cannot be blind to what it is .... Ask her (your daughter) and let her judge you. There will be situations and circumstances where your instinct will speak, and there will be situations and circumstances where your reason will speak. You understand? The world is material. The world does not move by the material powers. What moves the world is the ambition to possess it. You understand? Each and every one of you have an ambition to possess, will that ambition be the most correct? The way to know it is when your heart answers that, and not your criterion that puffs up and beautifies your being. You intend to possess that which avoids you having worries tomorrow. Every one of you will know when you are completely happy. Why you do the things you? What is the reason?You brought these offerings, they are more than any earthly king deserves. A king is because they imposed a crown on him, the real one is the one who deserves it. I do not ask for anything, not even the fact that I intend to amend his absence. I do not ask for anything, not even the fact that they come to offer me. Have you done it? You will Never never will come out of my mind. You understand? This I do not deserve, because I do not exist as you exist, because I do not deserve it you become worthy. You understand? Every time you worship and celebrate some Òrìşà deity it is the same, the Deities / Òrìşà’s do not need that, the fact that you put it down at their feet will make you deserving. You understand? We are a people, we are one, I understand it, I understand it, but it seems that you insist on dirtying your own image. Walk together, walk together, then you will be great. No one can walk hand in hand unless he is big. I can return to the road for something that I have lost, I do not return to the road for something that a brother has lost, Then I will be small and insignificant. You understand? If you return to the road for something that you have lost, it will be small, if you return to the road for something that a brother has lost, you will be great. You do not understand that, even if you have children, your brothers and sisters are similar. You understand? You have not realized how much you have really grown. You do not realize what makes you small. From Odùdúwà to Awo Ifalenu: Your personal satisfaction is to give something to the world. What is it that moves each one of you? Those who hold my hands, never released will be ... Those who let go of my hands, their boat should rule. I will never and never release anyone of you. Are you willing to grab your brothers? Then, do it ... When you understand that, your personal interests are set aside. I appreciate and admire each of you, your good things, your shortcomings with which you have to lead. I prefer to stay with how big you are, and the reason you have to keep moving this universe. Let's put aside the triviality, let's talk about reality. Will you feed the Lady Ọ̀ŞUN today? With what do you think of feeding her? The brothers respond: With Oshinshin (a special offering made with eggs, shrimp, onions, tomato, honey and swiss chard). BÀBÁ ODÙDÚWÀ: THAT'S TRIVIAL, Bàbá Odùdúwà asks again: With what do you think of feeding her (in a subtle sense)? THE BROTHERS UNDERSTAND AND SAY: With Love Bàbá Odùdúwà: That's what satisfies any hunger ... You are good because you are before my eyes, you will be bad when you look at your own eyes ... do you understand? I once told one of my spiritual emissaries: "The tree has to shake, otherwise it will never bear fruit" Be strong. As of today, everything you ask of me will be granted, but think about what you will ask for. From your grace and disgrace/misfortunes you will be responsible ... My Ẹlẹ̀gún / medium is too logical, not everything in this life are numbers (logic). He must mediate between the beauty of perfection and imperfection, although the second is more perfect. Who brought this offering? The Brothers say: Among all the group we cooperated. Bàbá Odùdúwà: Each and every one of you should fulfill what you have to fulfill. Neither she (the girl) nor any of you should be allowed to fall. You understand? You walked and you got here, something told you that it was not the best, the roads that you walked for the world, for the universe, you have a reason to be here. For my eyes, you have the reason to be here because you are the best ones to be here ... If I had a human heart I would say that with that same heart I receipt what you have brought, after eating it, you should do the same, share...
