[Èlà-Iwori is the divine power, celestial personality and creative intelligence that enhances, matures and perfects our intelligence, inner-feelings, understanding, will, intent and emotions.]
Èlà mo yin aboru.
Èlà mo yin aboye.
Èlà mo yin abosise.
What is the greatness, glory and uniqueness of Èlà-Iwori?
Èlà-Iwori removes, destroys and eradicates the evil forces within and without. Èlà-Iwori removes, destroys and eradicates the ignorance, fear and misery which dominate our inner mind. The àse of Èlà-Iwori is indispensable [absolutely necessary] for subduing, removing, banishing and completely destroying the evil forces within and without.
Èlà-Iwori is a pure, radiant, fire-like [fiery] and all conquering power. Èlà-Iwori can easily subdue, conquer, banish and destroy any kind of evil force. No evil force, energy or entity of any kind can dwell where Èlà-Iwori is present. Wherever the divine activity of Èlà-Iwori is present all evil forces, energies and attitudes will be set to flight, will be subdued, removed and eradicated.
Èlà-Iwori is replete with limitless ability, skill and power. Èlà-Iwori is peerless and matchless. Èlà-Iwori abides in omniscience, immeasurable virtue and unparalleled divine pleasure, happiness, ecstasy and delight.
Èlà is the spiritual light, energy and fire emanating from Olódùmarè which purifies [cleanses, harmonizes] and guides our interior being. This is why Èlà is called the savior, the salvation, the safety, the supreme security and the unassailable refuge.
What is it that Èlà saves us from?
What is it that is ruining, deteriorating and destroying our world, our personal lives, our spirituality, our collective lives and our relationships?
The answer is: Pretense [arrogance], indifference, deep spiritual ignorance, inner defilements [corruption], selfishness and hypocrisy.
What is it that Èlà saves us from?
Èlà saves us from ourselves. Èlà saves us falling victim of evil forces, energies, entities and studies. Èlà saves us from the malicious, mean and evil intent of others. Èlà establishes us in spiritual purity and ushers us into a life of true prosperity, abundance, satisfaction and fulfillment.
When pretense, selfishness, indifference, inner corruptive tendencies and hypocrisy are absent from our individual and collective lives, our world and quality of life becomes like a paradise, like heaven. When our hearts are saturated and overflowing with humility, valor, moral courage, compassion, moral-cleanliness, honesty and sincerity everything in life at all levels and functions of society becomes good, orderly, productive, wholesome and life affirming.
The state of today’s world is an expression of the individual and collective inner-state of the human beings which comprise it. It is what is in our hearts; your heart and my heart that is ruining the world. To this end the divine energy and power called Èlà manifests itself in our hearts to deliver us from ignorance and the corrosive effects of inner defilements.
Èlà takun wa gureh! Àse. Èlà extend to us the rope of life. Àse.
May Èlà manifest to us and extend to us the rope of Èlà! Èlà himself, his virtue, intelligence and power is the rope of life. Èlà appears to cleanse our hearts, he manifests to cleanse and heal our conscience and to make us partakers of a harmonious life and wholesome [healthy and sincere] faith.
Èlà is the supreme leading and guiding power of Olódùmarè set apart to purify, cleanse, develop, mature and perfect our interior life and inner qualities. This is why Èlà is called Èlà omo osin asiwaju!
Èlà is light to illumine our path. Èlà is fire to burn out and remove the dross of impurities and inauspicious qualities that are contaminating the pure gold of our inner self. Èlà is nourishment for our heart, spirit and mind. Èlà is the divine potency which heals, adjusts and harmonizes our life.
We cannot make the world better solely by attempting to make external changes and adjustments. We cannot make the world better only by implementing external reforms. The problems in our present life and world do not lie on the outside features of life. It is not a lack of natural resources or means which is ruining our society. It is the lack of inner riches and inner resources which is ruining us and causing us to misuse, mismanage and abuse the unlimited resources that nature makes available to us.
It is our own selfishness, impurity, arrogance, ignorance and indifference which causes us to ruin, abuse, hurt [and take advantage of] each other.
Only when we come face to face with this fact in personal experiences and in an accepting way are we then in a position to receive the relief, aid and wondrous, transformative and unimaginable power of Èlà. Only when we really discern and feel our need are we able in sincerity to call out to Èlà.
Èlà only responds when when we personally, individually perceive our deep seated need for renewal, change, spiritual reinforcement and reformation in the inner aspects of our lives.
When the interior life is healthy, clean, strong, whole, pure and vibrant, this inner state will be expressed and seen in the outer reality and practical day-to-day workings of our world.
This is the [true] sense and meaning of the Ifá revelation which says, “Ifá will mend our world”. By ‘world’ Ifá means our personal and individual inner life condition and state. By ‘world’ Ifá means the world of our will, feelings, thoughts, emotions and intent.
Ifá teaches us that when we have reached the limit our ability and strength that we should not despair or give up on ourselves.
While continuing to apply ourselves diligently and wholeheartedly we should simultaneously acknowledge our limitations and should therefore call on Èlà for spiritual support, revitalization and reinforcement. This applies only to the person who has been applying themselves diligently and wholeheartedly, because it is only the person who has been all along applying themselves that becomes aware of their [true] need, lack and limitations.
Èlà only supports the one who really feels and experiences his need for support, who really wants to receive Èlà’s support and who intends to utilize it for his own benefit and the benefit of others. This my dear friends and highly esteemed readers is the individual and collective way in which Èlà-Iwori is saving and benefiting us directly and indirectly.
The way and manner in which humanity today finds itself in the grip of immorality, hedonism, vices, hypocrisy, strife, confusion and an absence of true spirituality, humanity desperately needs the help of a divine power and capable masterful guide to purify, enlighten, heal and uplift humanity. This divine power and capable masterful guide is Èlà omo osin asiwaju [èlà-iwori], the irunmole-orisa of splendor, radiance, light, illumination, sanctity and wonder.
Èlà mo yin aboru.
Èlà mo yin aboye.
Èlà mo yin abosise......
Èlà takun wa gureh! Àse!
Èlà extend to us the rope of life! Àse!
Èlà kot’ina ko to ro! Èlà omo osin mo wari ooo! Àse!
