"Nothing makes the Òrìṣà(S) happy than their usefulness you create".
A man that made car took into consideration the elementary deities and they are happy for that. You need Ọ̀ṣun (water), fuel and the oil to feel the presence of Ọya (wind), the body of the car represents èṣù while the engine represents Ògún and finally, the battery (and its other components) represent Sàngó.
Also, Alágbẹ̀dẹ is a scientist that makes all the four elements (deities) relevant in an advance way. Because, he knows the deities are better relevant in production and reproduction than in worshipping. Because the best veneration is continuation of usefulness. How does Alágbẹ̀dẹ venerate, he venerates by taking four elements into consideration and the idea of last product makes Ọbàtálá the last product. While we continue making useful and creative designs, we are actually venerating with Ọbàtálá. Therefore, Alágbẹ̀dẹ makes use of clay (as èṣù), water (Ọ̀ṣun), fire (Sàngó), wind (ọya) and then metal (Ògún). Depending on how best he can venerate and manipulate all the aforementioned, Ọbàtálá, the final product will surface.
In addition, when you use water for drinking, cooking, bathing, washing, driving, wetting, sweating and many other ways, you are venerating with Ọ̀ṣun. She is more happier seeing you using her. The creation of ship is more of happiness to Ọ̀ṣun.
When fire is used to burn, cook, clothes left under sun, melting and so many others, Sàngó will be highly happy. So, any production that involves use of fire is actually doing the veneration of Sàngó. Bakery, iron Smith and many others.
Ọya is happy when fire is needed. Because, ọya is needed when ever fire is needed. Here, ọya can come as a direct wind or gas from fuel. The better veneration with ọya is creation of plane and flying of birds is the best.
When you build houses either with soil, rocks, trees, modeling chairs, creation of canoe and so many other, you are actually venerating with èṣù. Farming is a very great way of venerating with èṣù. The deities are in connection to make Ọbàtálá the final result. Because in Ọbàtálá rest the appearance of work of Olódùmarè. So, Ọbàtálá connects us to the beauty of Olódùmarè.
All companies that work to give the world products are actually venerating with Ọbàtálá.
When we realize all these, we shall be more spiritual than before and the Òrìṣà will be happy with us than before. The period we stop all our creative ways of veneration, the period we started feeling disconnected from our ancestors and that made us to start engaging in creating their physical essences.
Finally, "creativity is the best sacrifice to the Òrìṣà (S)".
