He That Steps into River Would Know the Depth of the River

1 Comment

He that steps into river
Would know the depth of the river
He that shouts a cry for help
Would widen his eyes up to the sky
Cast IFA for ORUNMILA
On the day he was inquiring of the secrets of OLODUMARE
“Would I know the secrets of everything?” he asked
They told him to perform sacrifice
They said he should place his offerings at the beach
ORUNMILA then performed the offering
He carried his sacrifice to the beach
He was about to make the place of sacrifice
But OLODUMARE had removed his cloth
He was stark naked
The robust part of OLODUMARE buttock is the ocean
As OLODUMARE inhales
The breeze would blow on the ocean shore
And when he exhales
The breeze would blow off the shore
Faa
The breaths in and out by OLODUMARE
That is the reason for the current
As ORUNMILA was placing his offering
OLODUMARE because suspicious
You ORUNMILA!
“Hiin” ORUNMILA replied
“Did you not see my secret?” OLODUMARE asked
“I only saw the robust part of your buttocks” ORUNMILA answered
“There is nothing you will not know henceforth”
ORUNMILA started to dance and rejoice
He was praising his Babalawo
His Babalawo was praising IFA
He said it was just as the Babalawo had said
He that steps into river
Would know the depth of the river
He that shouts a cry for help
Would widen his eyes up to the sky
Cast IFA for ORUNMILA
On the day he was inquiring of the secrets of OLODUMARE
It is you and we
It is truly you and we
ORUNMILA and OLODUMARE are equals
It is you and me
