Ọ̀BÀRÀ MÉJÌ, CHAPTER SEVEN STATES
Introduction
I can't imagine how revelationary the wisdom Ifá maintains in Yoruba people to present messages in a way that every sensible man will understand.
At the beginning, this chapter classifies women into two with pounding wooden mould (odó) and ìkòkò àmù (big pot for water).
It goes forward to tell us that every woman needs special treatment and attention, so, equality is not by treating them the same way but by identifying their areas of differences and try your best to fulfil that.
Furthermore, it allows us to realize that odó is made from wood while ìkòkò is made from clay. In other words, we should justify the softness of clay with solidity of wood.
Ìkòkò becomes more beautiful and useful when put omi (water) in it always.
Odó becomes beautiful when you use it to turn yam to pounded yam (iyán).
Ìkòkò will be silent with water in it, but, odó must make noice to give you a good pounded yam.
Olódùmarè does not teach hell or paradise with marriage matter, Èdùà teaches us the implications of marrying with choices of number.
Read the verses below;
Gbirigbiri ni à á yídó
Gbirigbiri ni à á yí ìkòkò
Ìyí a yídó
Kí á mọ́ mọ̀ yí ìkòkò;
Bí a yí ìkòkò,
Inú alámọ̀ a bàjẹ́......
Odó ni igi,
Ìkòkò l'amọ̀.....
Ọ̀kan ṣoṣo póró l'obìnrín dùn mọ
L'ọ́wọ́ ọkọ......
B'o bá di méjì,
A d'òfófó;
Bí ó bá di mẹ́ta,
A di pamínkú;
Bí ó bá di mẹ́rin,
A d'àjààgbilà;
Ẹ̀kàrún ni túlétúlé;
Ẹ̀kẹfàá ni Ifá ọkọ òun
Kò mọ rereé ṣe......
Èkejé ní Ifá ọkọ òun
L'ó ti kó èyí ṣẹ òun lọ́wọ́
Tí òún fi d'ẹni t'ó dà báyìí....
As you started reading, you should have felt the analysis of every number and this is a place where Y'orùbá numerology rest. Especially, in marriage matters.
It also teaches us the value of numbers that if a girl has it in numerology, she will probably behave in that way. Because, the position in marriage is also determined by number of individual orí.
Also, you must know that, when one number is not the end, the one before and after it will reflect on it.
Also, you must know that, the odu stops at seven 7, the chapter 7 of 7th Odu. So, this is really numerological in nature. 777 for reality of feminism and 999 for man.
Let's see the description of every number here.
1. Ọ̀kan = adùn = goodness and joy
2. Méjì = òfófó = back saying
3. Mẹ́ta = pamínkú = kill me or let me die
4. Mẹ́rin = Àjààgbilà = fighting upon fighting
5. Áàrún = túlétúlé = intruder
6. Ẹ̀kẹfàá = ọkọ ó mọ rere ṣe or arọ́kọríbı = bad seer
7. Èkeje = orí ọkọ ohun lo fàá = it is the head of her husband that makes her to be a seventh wife.
We are aware that an adage says; A problem known is a problem solved. Being aware of the consequences of every step or addition in marriage makes you wise and gives you a chance of positioning yourself as a centre of gravity to control al that might happen.
How can you achieve this? Apply the first verses that says;
Ìyí a yídó
Ká má mà yí ìkòkò
Odó ni igi
Ìkòkò l'amọ̀
Bí a bá yí ìkòkò
Ní yìí a yódó
Inú alámọ̀ a bá jẹ́......
Translation;
The way we push-roll pounding wood
We should not push-roll a pot
Pounding mould is from wood
A pot is clay
If we push a pot
The same way we push odó
The potter will be very sad.....
Apply this in your family.
Men with many wives or intending men, do not compare women in your judgment. Study them and treat them with their specialization without excesses.
Finally and finally, a woman that was destined to be a second wife will never be a first wife. The one to be mid-life will never be last wife as a last wife will never be first wife.
In addition, somewomen, no matter how, if they are destined to always be first wife, wherever they go, they will be fist wife, even if they are already a mother. And a lady that is destined to be second wife, even if she is a single, she will end up marrying someone's husband.
Also, men that were not destined to get married to a virgin or pure single will end up marrying a mothers as their first. They may do whatever thereafter.
It is all about orí. If you fail to follow your Orí, you may remain single forever, moving from one man to another or not be able to conceive until you reach your destination.
Many singles are out there because they keep dragging it with their orí. You know yourself as you are reading, get ready to change for better and for the best of your life.
Ẹ gbé jẹ́ fún orí.
Your culture is rich, get closer to learn.
